Evolution is the official personal information manager and workgroup information management tool for GNOME. It combines E-mail, calendar, address book, and task list management. It has been an official part of GNOME since 2.8. Evolution development is sponsored primarily by Novell.

Its user interface and functionality is similar to Microsoft's Outlook application. It does have some distinguishing features: full-text indexing of all incoming mail, and a "Virtual Folders" feature. "Virtual Folders" are saved searches that look like normal mail folders.
