Evolution(1)							GNOME Applications						      Evolution(1)

NAME

       evolution - Run Ximian Evolution, a groupware suite for GNOME containing email, calendar, addressbook, and task-list tools.

SYNOPSIS

       evolution [OPTION] ... [URI]

DESCRIPTION

       This  program is a graphical groupware suite; a single application with email, calendar, address book, and task-list tools to help you col-
       laborate with other people.

       This man page is not the central source of help for Evolution. You can find the user's guide by running the application and selecting items
       from  the  Help	menu.  Additional  help  and  security	information  are  available  at  the  Ximian  knowledge base online at http://sup-
       port.ximian.com. For help with additional command-line options, type evolution --help at the command line.

EXAMPLES

       evolution
	      Runs the application.

       evolution "%s"
	      To use Evolution as the handler for mailto: links in GNOME applications, open the GNOME Control Center and set the mailto: URL  han-
	      dler  to this value. You can do this with non-GNOME browsers such as Mozilla, by setting the appropriate value in that application's
	      preferences dialogs.

	      Open the message composer, addressing the message to joe@somewhere.net.
