Gmail.com mail is usually tied to the Android smartphone, but it can also be used on a personal computer using the Evolution mail program, which is a free client for Linux OS, with a standard public license GNU version 2.0.

ОсоGmailor's worship - use of two -factor authentication OAUTH2. Due to the implementation of the Google Safety Safety system, the most e-mail programs for Linux (such as GEARY, SYLPHEED) do not work with a mailbox. Gmail mail is supported by Thunderbird and Evolution. The second is lighter (occupies about 200 MB of about 200 MB) and fast. I also like the Evolution interface, as it is not overloaded and well translated into Russian. Evolution understands letters in HTML format, domestic encoding UTF-8, Win1251 and KOI-8R. I use Gmail mail to correspond with Roskomnadzor about registration of radio stations.

Installation of the package Evolution

The program is part of the Ubuntu and Linux Mint:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install evolution

The label for launching the program is created in the _ "Office" folder, because Evolution positions itself as a "package for group work" (Groupware Suite). Indeed, Evolution supports the following opportunities:

* Email * (automatically synchronized with Google Gmail)
Google Calendar ** (File - Create - Google calendar

Calendar functions

The tasks and activities of the calendar (with reminders) created on the PC instantly fall into the smartphone. Since they are synchronized with Google.

From the smartphone, the tasks and events by the default did not get into the Evolution calendar:

They need to be immediately created in the Google Type of Username@gmail.com, not PC SYNC, not
Either manually copy the event from PC Sync to the Gmail account (made on a smartphone - you need to press a finger on a gray event - three points - copy in username@gmail.com) - from gray, they become blue on the smartphone and immediately fall into the Evolution on the PC.

New events from a PC to a smartphone and back are transmitted instantly, they do not need to synchronize them as mail.

On a PC, tasks and events have colors that is set for the new calendar when creating.

Reminders jump out on a smartphone and a computer at the same time.

On the smartphone screen, the reminder looks like this:
