Prev | Chapter 1. Getting Started with Ximian Evolution |
To start Ximian Evolution, do either of the following:
Select Programs+ + + + + + + ->Evolution+ from your menu panel.
Type evolution at the command line.
The first time you run the program, it will create a directory called evolution in your home directory, where it will store all of its local data. Then, it will open a first-run assistant to help you set up mail accounts and import data from other applications.
Using the first-run assistant will take approximately two to five minutes.
The Identity window is the first of four steps in the assistant. The identity step will ask you to enter your basic personal information. You can define multiple identities later on with the Tools+ + ->Mail Settings tool.
Full Name: Your full name (Example: John Doe).
Email Address: Your email address (Example: john@doe.com)
Organization: The company where you work (optional).
Signature file: If you'd like to use an email , select your signature file here. Normally, the signature will be the contents of the .signature file in your home directory.
The Recieving Email step lets you configure receving email people have sent you.
Server Type: There are numerous types of servers from which Ximian Evolution can fetch your mail. Ask your system administrator if you're not sure which of the following are available to you:
POP: Downloads your email to your hard disk for permanent storage.
IMAP: Keeps the email on your server so you can access your email from multiple systems.
Unix mail spool file: If you run a mail server on your desktop computer, choose this option.
Standard Unix .mbox file: If you want Ximian Evolution to read mail from a specific file, or if you download mail with another application, choose this option.
Qmail maildir format files: If you download your mail using qmail, you'll want to use this.
None: Select this if you do not plan to check mail with this account.
What's an IMAP Namespace?: For IMAP mail servers, your sysadmin may provide you with a specific namespace, the path on the IMAP server where you check for mail. If you check your IMAP mail and your folder list includes files that don't look like mail folders, you probably need to change your mail namespace. Typical values are "mail" and "Mail." If you prefer, you can choose to subscribe to individual mail folders one at a time. For more information about how to use IMAP mail, see .
Email Server: This is the address of the server you're downloading from.
Username: The username that you login to your email. That is often the part before the @ in your email.
Authentication Type: Chances are you are using Password. Ask your administrator for more details. You can have Ximian Evolution make sure you've chosen correctly by clicking Check for supported types.
Remember Password: If you prefer to not enter your password every time you check email, press this button.
