Mail Menus

All the menus for mail. FIXME: this paragraph needs content.

The Edit Menu

This menu is currently empty.

The View Menu

This menu lets you control the way Evolution displays your information for you.

Show Shortcut Bar

Toggle the shortcut bar on and off with this item.

Show Folder Bar

Toggle the folder bar on and off with this item. See the section called The Folder Bar in the chapter called The Main Window: Evolution Basics for more information about the folder bar.

Threaded Message List

This item controls whether your message list is displayed by thread or by other criteria. The default order is by date; see the section called Sorting the message list in the chapter called Evolution Mail for information about the order of the message list.

The Tools Menu

Mail Filters

Edit your mail filters here. See the section called Staying organized: Mail Filters in Evolution in the chapter called Evolution Mail for more information about mail filtering.

vFolder Editor

Create, edit, and delete vFolders with this tool. To learn about using vFolders with mail, see the section called Getting Really Organized with Virtual Folders in the chapter called Evolution Mail.

Mail Configuration

This is a poorly named tool. You can set your identity, and everything else related to your mail account, here.

Forget Passwords

Although it's really an Action (FIXME), this item will cause Evolution to forget what your password is.

Configure Folder

Another FIXME item, this allows you to set the file format in which Evolution stores mail.

The Actions Menu

When you select one of the actions from this menu, Evolution will do your bidding, usually to the item you have selected.

The actions you can perform are:

Edit Message

Select a message in the drafts folder before you select this item. You can only edit a message you have written. FIXME: POOR description of BROKEN behavior.

View Message

Displays the selected message in a new window.

Mark all Messages Read

Evolution keeps track of which messages you've seen; When you don't need to read all those messages, select this item. You can mark a single message as read by right-clicking it in the message bar.

Expunge

Emtpies the trash folder, erasing messages permanently. Once you've done this, don't come crying to me if you want a message back.
