      Start the mail client by clicking on the
      <guibutton>Inbox</guibutton> icon in the shortcut bar, or by
      selecting a mail folder in the folder bar.  To read a message,
      select it in the message list; if you'd like to see it in its

	<title>Trash is Actually a vFolder?</title>
	<para>
	  Both local and IMAP Trash folders are actually vFolders that

          For more information about vFolders, see <xref
          linkend="usage-mail-organize-vfolders">.  Since emptying
          your trash expunges the messages in your Trash folder,
          choosing <menuchoice> <guimenu>Actions</guimenu>
          <guimenuitem>Empty Trash</guimenuitem> </menuchoice> is the
          same as expunging deleted mail from <emphasis>all</emphasis>
          your folders.
	</para>
        <para>
           This is not, however, true for the Trash folder on Exchange
           servers, which behaves just the same as it would in
           Outlook. That is to say, the Trash folder on an Exchange
           server is a normal folder with actual messages in it.

            The simplest way to direct a message is to put the email

            groups of people, especially if they don't know each other
            or if privacy is a concern.  If your <guilabel>Bcc:</guilabel> field is absent, click

            <title>What is a Mailing List?</title>
            <para>
              Mailing Lists are one of the most popular tools for
              group collaboration on the Internet. Here's how they work: 
              <simplelist>
                <member>
                  Someone sends a message to a single address, like
                  <email>evolution@ximian.com</email>.
                </member>
                <member>
                  That address belongs to a program that distributes
                  the message to a list of recipients.
                </member>
             </simplelist>
               The mail management program lets individuals subscribe
               to or unsubscribe from the list at will, without
               requiring the message writers to remember the addresses
               of every recipient.
            </para>
            <para>
              Mailing list servers can also let network administrators
              control mail flow, list membership, and even moderate
              the content of mailing lists.

          The post office forwards your mail for you when you change

          to a new message (this is the default) or
          you can send it <glossterm linkend="inline">inline</glossterm> as a quoted
          portion of the message you are sending.  Attachment
          forwarding is best if you want to send the full, unaltered
          message on to someone else.  Inline forwarding is best if
          you want to send portions of a message, or if you have a
          large number of comments on different sections of the
          message you are forwarding.  Remember to note from whom the

	    GPG uses two keys: public and private.  You can give your

          </member>
          <member>
            Attach an encrypted signature to a plain text message, so
            that the recipient can read the message without decrypting it, and 
            only needs decryption to verify the sender's identity.
