• Re: Evolution Email Client. » Mon Feb 20, 2017 11:07 pm. If you can send, but not receive, it is near to sure a matter of the mail-account settings in Evolution. There should be a help page of your mail-provider, which shows the correct settings.

2.1.1. Outgoing mail

You must configure evolution so that it sends all outgoing mail to your provider's SMTP server. Once this is working you do not need to make any further changes to the configuration for outgoing mail. The filtering of outgoing mail is beyond the scope of this document.

2.1.2. Incoming mail

Purpose: Instructions how to install and setup the Evolution email client on Linux workstation to work with Office 365/Exchange Online Requirements.

evolutionalso receives incoming mail directly to your provider's server (usually POP3). Figure 3 shows you the major components of evolution or any other system for collecting POP3 email.

Figure 3: the major components of Evolution

The first step is to configure and test evolution so that it sends mail directly to your provider's server, and receives mail directly from it.

Later, you must change evolution's configuration for incoming mail. This is to allow other software applications to take over some of the processing of mail before it reaches evolution.

2.2. Install evolution

You can use use synaptic (X11), aptitude (console) or apt (command line) to install Debian packages. This document only describes the use of apt. It is good practice to work from a normal user account on your computer, and only switch to the root user when it is necessary. The '$' sign indicates the command line prompt for a normal user. The '#' sign indicates the command line prompt for the root user ('superuser').

Login as a normal user. Open a terminal window (eg gnome terminal). Switch user (using su) to the root user. You must enter the password for root. Use apt to install the evolution package.

Exit from root when the installation is complete.

2.3. evolution's 'Inbox' folder

Run evolution as a normal user.

Open the mail inbox.

The inbox is shown as a folder. You can switch between folders easily using the tree display. There is grey bar below the Menu bar and the Button bar. On the left hand side there is a button showing the name of the selected folder (currently 'Inbox'). Click on the Inbox button to reveal the 'Folders' pane. There is a button on the top right hand side of the 'Folders' pane with a with a mapping pin icon. Click on the mapping pin button to keep the 'Folders' pane permanently visible.

2.4. Configure evolution to send mail to and retrieve mail from a remote server

You must tell evolution the names of your provider's POP3 and SMTP servers, and your username and password on these servers. Run evolution and configure it using the Mail Settings dialogue from the Tools menu.

This brings up the evolution Account Assistant's Mail Configuration dialogue .

In the Identity dialogue, enter the full name and email address that you use on your provider's server.

In the Receiving Email dialogue, enter details of the email server that you receive emails from. (This is usually a POP3 server.)

Enter details of the email server that you send emails to. (This is usually an SMTP server.)

Enter a name for evolution to identify the account. You can choose anything within reason. One approach is to use your provider's name. You might use 'Example' if your email address is 'remote-user-name@example.net'.

You may have other accounts that you wish to add. You will save yourself some work by waiting until the whole system is set up and working. You can add further accounts at any time in exactly the same way

2.5. Test evolution's configuration

Test evolution's configuration by sending yourself an email. It should travel from your local computer to your provider's server and back into evolution's inbox folder.

Check that you can see the current contents of the Inbox folder. Connect to the Internet using modem lights applet (Gnome) or pon and poff (command line).

Evolution Mail Client Windows 10

Use either the File menu or New Message button to open the Compose a 'message' dialogue.

or

Address the message to yourself. Filling in only the 'To' and 'Subject' fields is sufficient. Then send the message.

Give the message a couple of minutes to reach the remote server and to be returned. Retrieve the email by clicking on the 'Send / Receive' button on the Button bar. Of course you may have to wait a little longer. Just repeat the request until the message arrives.

Move on to the next section when you are sure that the system is working correctly.
