## Configuring and Managing Ximian Evolution

Ximian Evolution is highly configurable. Usually, when developers say that, they mean that they didn't test it out thoroughly and have left it to other programmers to "configure" themselves a working system. In the case of Ximian Evolution, "configurable", it means that, while you can expect the program to work perfectly well in its default settings, it's also easy to alter its behavior in a wide variety of ways, so that it fits your needs exactly. This part of the book will describe that process, from the quickest glimpse of the Setup Assistant to an in-depth tour of the preferences dialogs.
