I switched to try Fedora 5 distro. I have used evolution under another distro which had my email, calendar, to-do list, etc; all in one, why do I have to go to multiple places to view this can I change it to look more like the comprehensive evolution I'm used to seeing?

I am using evolution on FC5 and have access to all of those (calendar, email, tasks, memos) from the evolution gui. I do know that it defaults to a view that hides the buttons you mentioned that normally show on the bottom left side. If that is what you are referring to, unclike hide buttons under: View-->Switcher Appearance-->hide Buttons.

Hope this helps.

Answered my own question: Go to view and check sidebar option. duh!

Cool
Each new update/distro takes a while to pick up on their nuances.

Maybe you can answer mine. Evolution 2.6.0 distributed with
Fedora does not have any graphics, by which I mean:
Inbox, Draft, Junk folders on the left have only a page icon
with a red X on them. Also Reply, Reply to All, Forward on the
top bar has the same. Also, any graphics in the mail, the same.
The only graphics that appear in the whole application are Print,
Delete, and Cancel on the top bar and a Save icon for attachments.

I am getting this message:
(evolution:27225): e-attachment-bar.c-WARNING **: cannot find icon for mime type message/rfc822 (installation problem?)

Any ideas? Thanks.
