To add a new appointment to your calendar, click ‘File’+‘New’+‘Appointment’. Under the ‘Appointment’ tab, enter the details for the appointment. Select a category, if desired, to ease searching and sorting later. Optionally, use ‘Alarm’ to set an alarm so Evolution will remind you before your appointment starts. If the appointment occurs regularly, set the recurring dates under ‘Recurrence’. Click ‘OK’ after all settings are made. The new appointment is then shown in your calendar.

To schedule a meeting with other people, select ‘File’+‘New’+‘Meeting’. Enter information as you would for an appointment. Add the attendees in ‘Invitations’ or ‘Scheduling’. To enter attendees from your address book, use ‘Contacts’ to open a list of the contacts in your address book. ‘Scheduling’ can also be used to schedule a time that fits all attendees. Press ‘Autopick’ after configuring participants to automatically find a time.

GroupWise and Exchange calendars should be configured in the account configuration. To add additional local or Web calendars, select ‘File’+‘New’+‘Calendar’. Select the desired type and enter the required information.
