4.2.3 E-Mail
Evolution e-mail is like other e-mail programs in several ways:
It can send and receive e-mail in HTML or as plain text, and makes it easy to send and receive
multiple file attachments.
It supports multiple e-mail sources, including IMAP, POP3, and local mbox or mh spools and
files created by other e-mail programs.
It can sort and organize your e-mail in a wide variety of ways with folders, searches, and filters.
It lets you guard your privacy with encryption.
However, Evolution has some important differences from other e-mail programs. First, it's built to
handle very large amounts of e-mail. The junk e-mail, message filtering and searching functions
were built for speed and efficiency. There's also the search folder, an advanced organizational
feature not found in some e-mail clients. If you get a lot of e-mail, or if you keep every message you
get in case you need to refer to it later, you'll find this feature especially useful. Here's a quick
explanation of what's happening in your main Evolution e-mail window.
