168 CHAPTER 11 UBUNTU REPLACEMENTS FOR WINDOWS PROGRAMS Figure 11-4. OpenOffice.org Base E-Mail/Personal Information Manager: Evolution Evolution is a little like Microsoft Outlook in that, in addition to being an e-mail client, it can also keep track of your appointments and contacts. Before using the program, you ll need to set it up with your incoming and (if applicable) outgoing mail server settings, as detailed in Chapter 8. Evolution is compatible with POP/SMTP, IMAP, Novell GroupWise, and Microsoft Exchange servers. Once the program is up and running, as shown in Figure 11-5, you can create a new message by clicking the New button on the toolbar. To reply to any e-mail, simply select it in the list, and then click the Reply or Reply To All button, depending on whether you want to reply to the sender or to all the recipients of the message. To switch to Contacts view, click the relevant button on the bottom left. If you reply to anyone via e-mail, they re automatically added to this Contacts list. You can also add entries manually by either right-clicking someone s address in an open e-mail or right-clicking in a blank space in the Contacts view. Clicking the Calendar view shows a day-and-month diary. To add an appointment, simply select the day, and then double-click the time you want the appointment to start. You can opt to set an alarm when creating the appointment, so that you re reminded of it when it it s scheduled.
