Menu Reference

This section will serve as a reference for every capability that Evolution has. When menu items are repeated in Evolution, they're repeated here too.

From left to right, the menus available to you when you are reading mail are: File, Edit, View, Tools, Actions, and Help. The last of these doesn't change, but the rest of them have contents that will change depending on whether you're looking at mail, contacts, or calendar information. In addition, the editor tools for messages, appointments, and contacts all have menu bars.

Menus that are the same everywhere

The File and Help menus in the main Evolution window do not change, because they refer to universal items. Other menus have contents that change depending on context.
