  <title>Evolution Exchange receiving options</title>

<p>On the <gui>Receiving Email</gui> page (accessible via <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Mail Accounts</gui><gui style="button">Edit</gui><gui>Receiving Email</gui></guiseq>):</p>

<list>
<item><p>Enter your username for that server.</p></item>
<item><p>Enter the OWA URL for that server.</p></item>
<item><p>Select if the mailbox name is different from the username. If it is, enter the mailbox name.</p>
<note style="tip"><p>If you are in an organizational environment, you may want to contact your system administrator for more information.</p></note></item>
<item><p>Select your authentication type in the Authentication list, or click <gui style="button">Check for Supported Types</gui> 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.</p></item>
<item><p>Click <gui style="button">Authenticate</gui> and enter your password.</p></item>
</list>

<p>On the <gui>Receiving Options</gui> page (accessible via <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Mail Accounts</gui><gui style="button">Edit</gui><gui>Receiving Options</gui></guiseq>):</p>
<list>
<item><p>If you want Evolution to check automatically for new messages, click the <gui>Check for new messages every ... minutes</gui> option and select the frequency in minutes.</p></item>

<item><p>You can also define if Evolution checks for new messages in all folders.</p></item>

<item><p>In the section <gui>Global Address List/Active Directory</gui>, specify the name of the Global Catalog server. The Global Catalog Server contains the user information for users.</p></item>
<item><p>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.</p></item>
<item><p>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 <link xref="contacts-using-contact-lists">contact lists</link>.</p></item>
</list>
