About This Book

This book is divided into two parts, with several appendices. The first part is a guided tour— it will explain how to use Evolution. If you are new to Evolution or to groupware in general, this section is for you. The second section, covering configuration, is targeted at more advanced users, but anyone who wants to change the way Evolution looks or acts can benefit from reading it. In addition, there is a comprehensive menu reference which describes nearly every capability that Evolution has to offer.
