The first time you start it, Evolution prompts you with a few questions as it sets up a<br />

mail account and helps you import mail from your old mail client. Then it shows you<br />

how many new messages you have and lists upcoming appointments and tasks, the<br />

current weather, and news from news feeds. The calendar, address book, and mail tools<br />

are available in the shortcut bar on the left.<br />

on the clipboard is lost.<br />
