[Evolution] is a theory [CharlesDarwin] came up with.
-[Evolution | http://www.ximian.com/evolution/] is a MailClient/[PIM] written by [Ximian] as an equivalent to MicrosoftOutlook, for [Linux] and other [Unix] platforms. You can buy a connector from [Ximian] that will let you talk to [MicrosoftExchange] servers too.

[Evolution | http://www.ximian.com/evolution/] is a MailClient/[PIM] written by [Ximian] as an equivalent to MicrosoftOutlook, for [Linux] and other [Unix] platforms. You can buy a connector from [Ximian] (now part of [Novell])
that will let you talk to [MicrosoftExchange] servers too.
Now updated to support [GTK2] and store its configuration in [GConf].
In order to get [Evolution] to do client-side filtering correctly, you may need to check the ''Apply filters to new messages in Inbox on this server'' option, which lives in ''Tools / Settings / Edit Account / Receiving Options''.
+Evolution 1.4 (and maybe some earlier versions) lets you create new messages
+from the command line, with something like
+<verbatim>
+evolution mailto:username@localhost
+</verbatim>
+
+What isn't documented anywhere sensible, like in the User Guide, or in the (non-existent) ManPage, is that you can also add an attachment or subject like this:
+<verbatim>
+evolution 'mailto:username@localhost?subject=moo&attach=file:///tmp/x.txt'
+</verbatim>

See [IPAQNotes] for syncing [Evolution] with an IPAQ, or PocketPC2002/2003 or WindowsCE machine.
