6.1 Starting Evolution for the First
Start the Evolution client by clicking Computer > Evolution, or by typing evolution

6.1.1 Using the Setup Assistant

The first time you run Evolution, it creates a directory called .evolution in your
home directory, where it stores all of its local data. Then, it opens a Setup Assistant to
help you set up e-mail accounts and import data from other applications.
Using the Setup Assistant takes two to five minutes.
Later on, if you want to change this account, or if you want to create a new one, click
Edit > Preferences, then click Mail Accounts. Select the account you want to change,
then click Edit. Alternately, add a new account by clicking Add.
The Setup Assistant helps you provide the information Evolution needs to get started.
Defining Your Identity
The Identity window is the first step in the assistant.
Here, you enter some basic personal information. You can define multiple identities
later by clicking Edit > Preferences, then clicking Mail Accounts.
When the First-Run Assistant starts, the Welcome page is displayed. Click Forward to
proceed to the Identity window.
