<title>Organization</title>
<para>
The first part of this book is a <link linkend="usage">guided
tour</link>, which will explain how to use Evolution. If you
are new to Evolution or to groupware in general, this section is
for you. The second section, covering <link
linkend="config">configuration</link>, is targeted at more
advanced users, but anyone who wants to change the way Evolution
looks or acts can benefit from reading it.

<title>Additional Help Sources</title>

You can find additional help in three places. For information
about command-line options, open a terminal window and type
<command>evolution --help</command>. For support,
late-breaking news, and errata, visit the Novell support center at
<ulink url="http://support.novell.com">support.novell.com</ulink>.

<title>What's New in Evolution &appversion;</title>
<para>
Even if you're already familiar with earlier versions,
Evolution &appversion; has a lot of new features to offer.
You can find a complete list of bugs fixed and features added
in the Evolution release notes at the <ulink
url="http://gnome.org/projects/evolution/">Evolution Developer
Website</ulink>. Some of the features include:

<term>Junk Mail (Spam) Filtering</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Novell Evolution &appversion; includes trainable
Bayesian junk mail filters. When you get mail you
don't want, click the <guilabel>Junk</guilabel> button
in the toolbar. Check your <guilabel>Junk
Mail</guilabel> folder periodically to see if it's
filtered out anything you want to keep, and mark it as
<guilabel>Not Junk.</guilabel> As you correct the
filter, it will become more effective.

<varlistentry>
<term>GroupWise Connectivity with no Additional Software</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Now you can access GroupWise servers as well as IMAP
and POP mail servers, with no additional installation
required. Connection to Microsoft Exchange 2000 and
2003 servers is possible with the Evolution Connector,
now available at no charge and under the GPL license.

<term>User Interface Updates</term>
<listitem>
<para>
The shortcut bar has been replaced with small buttons
at the bottom of the folder bar. The folder bar now
only displays data for the current function, instead
of putting all data together in one tree.

Security with encryption and cryptographic signatures
has never been easier or stronger.

<term>Backups and File Locations</term>
<listitem>
<para>
To create a backup of your Evolution data, copy the

your backup disk. To access data you

restore individual files as needed.

<term>Default Browsers</term>
<listitem>
<para>
To set the browser used for links from email addresses,
open the GNOME preferences tool
(<menuchoice><guimenu>System</guimenu><guimenuitem>Personal
Settings</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
or <command>gnome-control-center</command>) and click
<guilabel>File Associations</guilabel>. On some systems,
this may be called <guilabel>MIME Types</guilabel> or
<guilabel>Default Applications</guilabel>.
</para>
<para>
In the <guilabel>File Associations</guilabel> tool, go to the
<guilabel>Internet Services</guilabel> section and click
<guilabel>World wide web (http)</guilabel>, then select
the browser of your choice. If you wish to use a
browser other than the ones suggested, you will need to
enter a complete shell command, rather than just the
browser name: <userinput>mybrowser
`%s`</userinput> rather than
<guilabel>My Browser</guilabel>.
Some systems may require you to set the browser used for
https:// links seperately.

<term>Making Evolution Your Default Mail Client</term>
<listitem>
<para>
For GNOME desktops, you can set
Evolution to be the default
mail client, so that it opens when you click a mailto:
link in web pages and help tools. To do that, open the
GNOME preferences tool and start the <guilabel>File
Associations</guilabel> tool. There, look under
<guilabel>Internet Services</guilabel>, select
<guilabel>Electronic mail transmission
(mailto)</guilabel>, and select
<guilabel>Evolution</guilabel> from the drop-down
list.
</para>
<para>
If you are using KDE, you can also set Evolution as the
default through the KDE control center. Go to the
<guilabel>KDE Components</guilabel> section and select
<guilabel>Component Chooser</guilabel>, then
<guilabel>Email Client</guilabel>. Click the
<guilabel>Use a different email client</guilabel> option
and enter <userinput>evolution `%s`</userinput>.
</para>
<para>
For applications such as Mozilla and Netscape, which do
not use the GNOME preference tools, you will need to
find the protocol handler preference tool for that
application and enter <userinput>evolution
`%s`</userinput> as your choice for handling mailto links.
