 Evolution Exchange receiving options
Receiving Email

On the Receiving Email page (accessible via EditPreferencesMail AccountsEditReceiving Email):

Enter your username for that server.

Enter the OWA URL for that server.

Select if the mailbox name is different from the username. If it is, enter the mailbox name.

If you are in an organizational environment, you may want to contact your system administrator for more information.

Select your authentication type in the Authentication list, or click Check for Supported Types to have Evolution check for supported authentication mechanisms. Some servers do not announce the authentication mechanisms they support, so clicking this button is not a guarantee that available mechanisms actually work.

Click Authenticate and enter your password.
Receiving Options

On the Receiving Options page (accessible via EditPreferencesMail AccountsEditReceiving Options):

If you want Evolution to check automatically for new messages, click the Check for new messages every ... minutes option and select the frequency in minutes.

You can also define if Evolution checks for new messages in all folders.

In the section Global Address List/Active Directory, specify the name of the Global Catalog server. The Global Catalog Server contains the user information for users.

Select if you want to limit the number of Global Address List (GAL) responses as this may increase speed. The GAL contains a list of all email addresses.

You also have to define the Authentication type, and whether you want groups of contacts in GAL to be represented in the Evolution address book by contact lists.
