Perhaps your mail server has changed names. Perhaps you've
|
|
grown tired of a certain layout for your appointments.
|
|
Whatever the reason, you want to change your

|
<application>Evolution</application> settings. This chapter
|
|
will tell you how to do just that.

Evolution 1.2 brings with it a redesigned comprehensive
|
|
settings window that you can open by choosing <menuchoice>
|
|
<guimenu>Tools</guimenu>
|
|
<guimenuitem>Configure</guimenuitem></menuchoice>, no matter
|
|
where you are in Evolution. On the left half of the settings
|
|
window is a column, similar to the Evolution shortcut bar,
|
|
which lets you choose which portion of Evolution to
|
|
customize. The right half of the window is where you'll make
|
|
your actual changes.

reason not to keep them right next to your mail. When you

first select the <guilabel>News Servers</guilabel> tab,
|

you will see a blank box with the three familiar buttons
|
|
on the right: <guibutton>Add</guibutton>,

<guibutton>Edit</guibutton>, and

<guibutton>Delete</guibutton>.

as many news servers as you like, of course. News servers
