With its extensive support for communications and data interchange standards, Evolution can work with existing corporate networks and applications, including Microsoft Exchange.

To start Evolution, click ProgramsNovell Evolution or click the quick start icon () in the top panel.

The first time you start it, Evolution prompts you with a few questions as it sets up a mail account and helps you import mail from your old mail client. Then it shows you how many new messages you have and lists upcoming appointments and tasks, as well as the current weather and news from news feeds. The calendar, address book, and mail tools are available in the shortcut bar on the left.
