Set-up guide for Hotmail/Gmail account in "Evolution"

Evolution

Here it is recommended for Ubuntu users who often use a mail client that they should go for "Evolution" instead of Thunderbird or Postler or any other client. As Thunderbird suffice all its requirements through  its Mozilla powered Add-ons but still for most of the Operating System Evolution is recommended. Often we go for the settings provlem in this mail client while it is more user friendly in case of Thunderbird. Here we provide the easy setup guide for Hotmail (live)/Gmail users : 

Hotmail :-

When you open up Evolution for the first time you’ll see a setup assistant

• Forward until you get to the “Identity” screen.
• Enter you full name and your full email address. 
• If you want your hotmail account to be your default address leave the tag next to the box.
• Press forward until you reach the “Receiving Email” windows.
• Pick “pop” from the drop down list.
• Fill in the following information:

Server:  pop3.live.com

Username: xxx@hotmail.com (use full email address)

Security: SSL

• Leave the rest as it is

In the next screen you’ll have to make some decisions for yourself.

• Now we hit the “Sending Email” screen.  Enter this:

Server:  smtp.live.com

Encryption: SSL

Username: xxx@hotmail.com (enter full email address)

• Leave the rest as it is

Finally go for a entering password dialog box & it is all yours.

Gmail :-

Here we need some help from our own Gmail account.

• First go to gmail using your internet browser and log in.
• On the top of the page there should be a “preferences” link (next to your email address).
• Now click on the “tab” where you see “imap” and “pop” mentioned.
• Make sure pop and imap is enabled.
• If that is done, open evolution.

As we already have an account the Wizard won’t appear.

• Go to “Edit -> Preferences” and in the window that pops up you will be able to add a new account.
• In the “Identity” window, enter your name and your email address.
• Now you’ll  hit the “Receiving Email” window again.
• Once again choose “pop” from the dropdown list.
• The server is : “pop.gmail.com” and your username should be your full gmail address. The security should be SSL.

Choose as you see fit in the next window.

• In the following window, called “Sending Email” enter the following :

Server type: SMTP

Server: smtp.gmail.com

Security: SSL

Username: xxx@gmail.com (enter full email address)

• Leave the rest as it is.
• After completion of the next window press apply and then in Evolution press “send/receive”.
