1.13 E-mail and Scheduling

For reading and managing your mail and events, openSUSE offers you Novell® Evolution™, a groupware program that makes it easy to store, organize, and retrieve your personal information.

Evolution seamlessly combines e-mail, a calendar, an address book, and a task list in one easy-to-use application. With its extensive support for communications and data interchange standards, Evolution can work with existing corporate networks and applications, including Microsoft* Exchange.

To start Evolution, click Computer > More Applications > Office > Evolution Mail and Calendar.

The first time you start Evolution, it prompts you with a few questions as it sets up a mail account and helps you import mail from your old mail client. Then it shows you how many new messages you have and lists upcoming appointments and tasks, as well as the current weather and news from news feeds. The calendar, address book, and mail tools are available in the shortcut bar on the left.

Press Ctrl+N to open a new item for whatever part of Evolution you're working in. In mail, this creates a new message. If you're in the address book, Ctrl+N creates a new contact card, and in the calendar, Ctrl+N creates a new appointment.

For more information, see Section 12.0, Evolution: E-Mail and Calendaring, (↑ Application Guide ).
