Toolbar
The toolbar gives you fast and easy access to the frequently used features in each
component.
Search Tool
The search tool lets you search your e-mail, contacts, calendar, and tasks to easily
find what you are looking for.
Message List
The message list displays a list of e-mail that you have received. To view an e-mail
in the preview pane, click the e-mail in the e-mail list.
Shortcut Buttons
The shortcut bar lets you switch between folders and between Evolution tools. At
the bottom of the shortcut bar there are buttons that let you switch tools, and above
that is a list of all the available folders for the current tool. If you have the Evolution
Connector for Microsoft Exchange installed, you have an Exchange button in addi-
tion to buttons for the other tools.
Status Bar
The status bar periodically displays a message, or tells you the progress of a task.
This most often happens when you're checking or sending e-mail. These progress
queues are shown in the previous figure. The Online/Offline indicator is here, too,
in the lower left of the window.
Preview Pane
The preview pane displays the contents of the e-mail that is selected in the e-mail
list.
4.2.1 The Menu Bar
The menu bar's contents always provide all the possible actions for any given view of
your data. If you are looking at your Inbox, most of the menu items relate to e-mail.
Some content relates to other components of Evolution and some, especially those in
the File menu, relates to the application as a whole.
File
Anything related to a file or to the operations of the application usually falls under
this menu, such as creating things, saving them to disk, printing them, and quitting
the program itself.
