x-email-client - completes the mail-contacts-schedule-tasks-memos program evolution (provided by Starbuntu)

x-email-client [mail | contacts | calendar | tasks | memos]
or
x-email-client mailto:recipient1@domain1[,recipient2@domain2,...] [<path of the first file> <path of the second file> ...]

The Starbuntu program x-email-client completes the GNOME program evolution which manages mail, contacts, schedule, tasks and memos.

After pressing Ctrl+Alt+m or the XF86Mail key a small white window appears for a moment. If you press in the meanwhile the left Super key the contacts window of evolution pops up, otherwise the mail window.

Moreover, the program x-email-client simplifies significantly the composition of mails with possibly attached files. Initially you mark the desired files in the file manager. Then you click on one of these with the right mouse button and choose "Open With " and then Send File(s). The evolution window for the composition of an e-mail pops up with the files already attached. To simplify it even more, after marking the files you just press Ctrl+Shift+n.

Of course, the program x-email-client can also be launched by means of a command line. Without any parameter you open the mail manager of evolution, with the parameter '-c contacts' the contacts, with '-c calendar' the schedule, with '-c tasks' the tasks and with '-c memos' the memos. The parameter 'mailto:[recipient address]' starts the composition of a mail. Here the recipient address is optional. In case you add directly the supplement '?attach="<path of the first file>"\&amp;attach="<path of the second file>" ...' these files get attached. An even simpler syntax is 'mailto:[recipient address] <path of the first file> <path of the second file> ...'.
