So, you can separate calendars by category, as you said (birthdays, timelines, etc) or group them by context (private, work, project, cinema/theater/concerts schedules, sports, etc) and use categories on them to filter them more. That is, categories could be useless if you make a calendar for each category, but if you group calendars differently, they make a lot of sense to help searching, filtering, etc. cheers _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
