are new to Evolution or to groupware in general, this section is

for you. The second section, covering <link

advanced users, but anyone who wants to change the way Evolution

looks or acts can benefit from reading it.

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

enter a complete shell command, rather than just the

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.
