<title>Evolution Evolves its Migration from Windows</title>
<para>
- GNOME's email and groupware suite, <application>Evolution</application>,
- has gained two important features for helping users who are migrating to
- GNOME from Microsoft Windows environments.
- </para>
+ GNOME's instant messaging and communication applicaiton, <application>Empathy</application>,
+ based off the Telepathy communications framework,has gained a number of new and important features
+ for helping users communicate.</para>
<para>
- First is the ability to import Microsoft Outlook Personal Folders (PST
- files) directly in Evolution. Email, contacts, appointments, tasks and
- journal entries are supported. Previously, the files had to be imported
- via a third-party utility, such as Thunderbird on Windows.

+ The Contact List has been improved in a number of ways. You can set your status
+ directly by entering it as text, or set it from a previously set status. Re-organizing
+ your contacts has been made easier as dragging and dropping a contact will move it, instead
+ of copying it. A View menu is now included, giving you quick access to sorting contacts,
+ viewing offline contacts and changing your contact lists size preferences.
+ </para>
<para>
- Second is support for Microsoft Exchange's MAPI protocol. This is the
- protocol that Microsoft Outlook uses to communicate with Exchange.
- Previously, Evolution only supported Exchange's SOAP protocol, which is
- not available on all Exchange servers. This support significantly
- improves Evolution's integration with Exchange servers.
+ The Conversaton dialog now supports a number of new themes, including Adium message styles.
+ Other improvements include users in the user list now have a tooltip;
+ the user list in chat rooms can be hidden; the Contact menu has been removed
+ from the Conversation menu; and if your name is mentioned
+ in a chat room or conversation, that tab's text will become red.
</para>
+ #
+
+More message styles with the support for Adium message styles. See http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/Themes for tested themes.
+# You can now hide the user list in chat rooms. It can be set as a default in the preferences too.
+# The users in the user list now have a tooltip.
+# If your name is mentioned in a chat room, the tab's text will become red.
+# Contact menu is no more under the Conversation menu
