If you're already familiar with Ximian Evolution 1.2, there
|
|
are a number of new features in this version. Most of the
|
|
changes, however, have been made behind the scenes, as we
|
|
moved to the GNOME 2 platform. Ximian Connector for Microsoft
|
|
Exchange also has new features, described in <xref linkend="new-in-connector" />.

You can find a complete list of bugs fixed and features added

in the Evolution release notes at the <ulink

the browser of your choice. If you wish to use a

For GNOME desktops, you can set
|
|
<application>Evolution</application> 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
|
|
<application>Evolution</application> from the drop-down
|
|
list.
|

</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.
