Adding emoticons

To add emoticons to messages, start composing a message and place the cursor at the required line. Then select Insert > Smileys and insert the emoticon you want. In case the emoticons don't show, go to Tools > Settings, then to Composer Preferences > General, uncheck 'Automatically insert smiley images' and click OK.

Open folders in a new window

Sometimes, it is better to open multiple windows, so that you are not restricted to doing one thing at a time. To do this in Evolution, just right click on the folder in the folder bar and select Open in a new window. If the folder bar is not visible, select View > Folder Bar from the menu.

Default forward style

Forwarding e-mail is one of the most frequent e-mail activities. Forwarding e-mail can be done in a number of ways-inline, quoted, or as attachments. In Evolution, you can specify a default method. Go to Tools > Settings and click on Composer Preferences > General. In the Default Behavior section, select the Forward Style as Attachment, Inline or Quoted.

Composing HTML mail

Writing an e-mail in plain text can be monotonous, which is why users may prefer using HTML. Evolution provides facilities for formatting text in a variety of ways using HTML. To enable this, go to Tools > Settings and click on Composer Preferences. Select the General tab and tick 'Format messages in HTML'.
