NAME
       evolution  -  groupware  suite  for  GNOME containing e-mail, calendar,
       addressbook, to-do list and memo tools

SYNOPSIS
       evolution [OPTIONS] [MAILTO]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page briefly introduces the evolution  command.   Evolution
       is  a  graphical  groupware suite, a single application for reading and
       sending e-mail and for managing calendars, address books, notes,  to-do
       lists and memos.  It is written for the GNOME graphical desktop.

       An  optional MAILTO expression can be specified, typically invoked from
       another application. An  example  MAILTO  expression  is  `mailto:user‐
       name@example.com`.  This  will open a new composer window with an empty
       e-mail to `username@example.com`. More advanced  expressions  are  also
       suppported, but should conform to RFC 2368.

       For a more detailed explanation of Evolution, please see the Help menu.
