II. Configuring and Managing Evolution

Evolution is highly configurable. Usually, when developers say that, they mean that they didn't test it out thoroughly and have left it to other programmers to "configure" themselves a working system. But in the case of Evolution, you can expect that it will work perfectly well with minimal setup hassle, and that you can alter its behavior to fit your needs with just a little more work. This part of the book will describe that process, from the quickest glimpse of the Setup Assistant to an in-depth tour of the preferences dialogs.
