The e-mail component of Evolution has the following standout features:
It supports multiple e-mail sources from many protocols.
It lets you guard your privacy with encryption.
It can speedily handle large amounts of e-mail.
Search folders allow you to come back to often-used searches.
Below is a summary of the user interface elements of the e-mail window.
Message List
The message list displays all the e-mails that you have. This includes all your read and unread messages and e-mail that is flagged to be deleted. With the Show drop-down box above the message you can filter the message list view using predefined and custom labels.
Preview Pane
This is where your e-mail is displayed.
If you find the preview pane too small, you can resize the pane, enlarge the whole window, or double-click the message in the message list to have it open in a new window. To change the size of a pane, drag the divider between the two panes.
As with folders, you can right-click messages in the message list and get a menu of possible actions. This includes moving or deleting them, creating filters or search folders based on them, and marking them as junk mail.
Actions related to e-mail, like Reply and Forward, appear as buttons in the toolbar and are also located in the right-click menu.
Templates
Evolution allows you to create and edit message templates that you can use at any time to send mail with the same pattern.
