Evolution Mail Client Setup
When you start Evolution for the first time, you will be presented
with a wizard to configure an e-mail account. If you have used Evolution
before and are not presented with this wizard upon startup, you may access
the same wizard by selecting Settings from the drop down menu
Tools.
From this screen select the Add button.
You should now be in the same wizard whether or not you have just started
Evolution for the first time or if you are reconfiguring it. Click the
Forward button.
From here enter your full name, and CCT e-mail address, and specify CCT as the
organization. Be sure that your e-mail address is of the form
myname@cct.lsu.edu, and that there is no other name specified
in front of cct. When you are finished press the Forward
button.
From this screen we will configure Evolution to connect to the mail server
regarding mail received. Set your Server Type to IMAP. Under
Configuration enter mail.cct.lsu.edu:993 as the host. Enter your mail

Password. Press the Forward button when you are finished.
No changes are necessary to this page of the wizard. Press the Forward
button.
From this screen we will configure Evolution to connect to the mail server
regarding the sending of e-mail. Set your Server Type to SMTP.
