Evolution's menus may not hold the secret to happiness, they do hold every ability that Evolution has. This section will serve as a reference for all those menus, and the capabilites that they offer you.
In addition, the editor tools for messages, appointments, and contacts all have menu bars of their own. From left to right, the menus available to you when you are reading mail are: File, Edit, View, Settings, Message, Folderand Help.
Menus in Evolution are context-sensitive, which means that they vary depending on what you're doing. If you're reading your mail, you'll have mail-related menus; for your calendar, you'll have calendar-related menu items. Some menus, of course, like Help and File don't much, if at all, because they have more universal functions. But you'd never mark an address card as "read," or set the recurrence for an email message you've recieved. depending on whether you're looking at mail, contacts, or calendar information.
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.
