<title>The Evolution Contact Manager</title>
<para>
The <application>Evolution</application> contact manager can
handle all of the functions of an address book, phone book,
or Rolodex. Of course, <application>Evolution</application>
allows easier updates than an actual paper book, and much
easier synchronization with handheld and remote devices. And
I doubt that you can take your little black book and make it
accessible to the rest of your office over a network. Since
<application>Evolution</application> supports most major
network protocols, including <glossterm>IMAP</glossterm> and
<glossterm>LDAP</glossterm>, it's easy to use over an
existing network.

Antother advantage of <application>Evolution</application>
is that the address book is integrated into the rest of
the application. That means that when you look for
someone's address, you can also see a history of
appointments with that person, and when you get an email
with contact information in it, you can create a new address
card very quickly. In addition, searches, folders, and
vFolders all work in the same intuitive way they do in the
other components, so you don't have to learn another system
for similar tasks.

I want to schedule a meeting with someone at Company
X, but I'm not sure who to talk to there. Our
corporate network has an address card that states our
contacts there, so I know whom to call. Since we also

they're doomed to fail anyway.
Ray wants to schedule a meeting with someone at

address card that states his contacts there. Since
his company also shares calendars, he then learns that
