Introduction to Contacts

Evolution enables you to store information about your contacts in contacts folders. For each contact, you can store the name, job title, telephone numbers, email addresses, and so on. You can also create contact lists. You can use a contact list to send a message to many of your contacts at one time.

Figure 8–1 shows a typical contacts window.

Evolution uses the Vcard format for contact information.

Evolution also enables you to use an LDAP server for your contact information. For more information on how to configure an LDAP server, see To Add an LDAP Server.
