This actually sounds pretty great! I haven't looked much at Evolution
docs myself before, but I've CCed Andre who wrote most of them. Do you
want to try and find a place in the official docs or would you like a
hand with that?


Thanks
Kat

Thanks for your interest!

Evolution's EWS documentation is rather limited. I don't have access to
an EWS account so help, ideas and improvements are welcome!

https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/3.18/intro-first-run.html
embeds a "Exchange EWS" section which basically comes from
https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/3.18/mail-account-manage-microsoft-exchange.html

Configuring signatures is under
https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/3.18/mail-composer-mail-signatures.html
and I have no idea if we properly cover setting up proxies.

If you want to play with the existing docs directly:
The files in Mallard format are located in Git under /help/C/ in
https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/
To check out from Git, see 
https://wiki.gnome.org/Git/Developers#Anonymous_Access
and to get the local files displayed, you can execute
$> yelp .
from the command line in the checked-out /help/C/ folder.

General GNOME documentation info is available under
https://wiki.gnome.org/DocumentationProject

Hope that helps a bit? :)
Don't hesitate to ask questions!

Cheers,
andre
