The Tool
The main window in Evolution is the Mail window. As you can see there are two side bars and two main panes. The two side bars are the folder tree view (on top) and the application switcher (on the bottom) which allows you to switch from one application to another. NOTE: The switcher panel is not active by default. In order to see this tool you have to go to View then Switcher Appearance and then uncheck the Hide Buttons option. The panes are: Email list which gives you a complete listing of the emails you have received and the Preview pane which is where you read your email.
