NAME
evolution - groupware suite for GNOME containing e-mail, calendar,
addressbook, to-do list and memo tools
SYNOPSIS
evolution
[OPTIONS] [MAILTO]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly introduces the
evolution
command. Evolution is a graphical groupware suite, a single
application for reading and sending e-mail and for managing
calendars, address books, notes, to-do lists and memos. It is written
for the GNOME graphical desktop.
An optional MAILTO expression can be specified, typically
invoked from another application. An example MAILTO expression
is `mailto:username@example.com`. This will open a new composer window
with an empty e-mail to `username@example.com`. More advanced expressions
are also supported, but should conform to RFC 2368.
For a more detailed explanation of Evolution, please see the Help menu.
