The identity is just a label used by Evo and along with things like Full
name: and Email address: are not used when connecting to the server and
downloading email.

Looking at various instructions for setting up mail I suspect that the
correct thing to use in your case are the following

Username:  [email protected]
Host Url: https://red001.mail.microsoftonline.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx

If you then click on "Fetch Url" it should ask for your password and
then populate the OAB Url: box.  If it does, then it should all work.

I have noticed that occasionally during this setup process it can loose
the username setting - so if you still can't download email, go back in
to the configuration and check that the username is still there, if not,
put it in again and retry.

Yes, but looking at microsoftonline it doesn't actually use normal
methods of configuring Outlook (you need to install a separate client to
do the authentication for you).
