You will get any replies to your query in your email, assuming you are
subscribed to the list. Most people set up a filter so the list traffic
gets stored in a special-purpose folder, but that's up to you.

There is no "instructional email" other than the basic information on
subscribing or unsubscribing. Note that the links for this are included
at the end of every message on the list.

You can consult the full archive of posts (i.e. message to the list)
which go back many years, at:

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/

Some additional points:

 * When asking a question, be sure to include your version of Evolution
   as the answer may depend on this. You can find your version by
   looking under Help->About when running Evolution.
 * "Top-posting" in replies is confusing. When posting a reply, select
   the specific part you want to comment on and type your reply after
   it (i.e. do what I'm doing here). If there are several parts to
   comment on, insert your comment after each part.
 * Try to avoid using HTML in messages to the list. Plaintext is always
   preferred and many of us only ever see the Plaintext version.

Welcome to the list.
