evolution − groupware suite for GNOME containing e−mail, calendar, addressbook, to-do list and memo tools
evolution [OPTIONS] [MAILTO]
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:username@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.

Evolution was originally developed by the company Ximian, now a part of Novell. Evolution is now part of GNOME, and many people have touched the code. See the "About" item in the "Help" menu for a list.
