I have been instructed to use davmail by the university IT who insist

Although the service nominally provides IETF SMTP and IMAP compliant

Manual setup
Prerequisite: OpenJDK 6 or 7 or Sun JRE 6. Tray icon is now
implemented with SWT and compatible with Java 5.
Note: some users reported issues with OpenJDK 6, please upgrade to
OpenJDK 7 in this case.
You should first download and install Java, with the graphical
package manager or through command line.
Under Ubuntu, launch System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager,
quick search default-jre, mark for installation and click Apply
Or use the following command:
sudo apt-get install default-jre
Download the linux x86 DavMail package from Sourceforge and
uncompress it with your favorite tool. The standard package will run
natively on x86, to use DavMail on any other hardware platform,
replace the SWT with the right one from http://www.eclipse.org/swt/
or use the platform independent package.
On Ubuntu and other Gnome or Kde distributions, just use the desktop
launcher. On other distributions, try davmail.sh. You should now see
the DavMail gateway icon in the tray :

that one must complete.
Thanks for any assistance.

From what you say, you may be using exchange and while davmail may do
the job, I used exquilla. It cost me $10.00/year for the license, but
I found it VERY effective in dealing with MS Exchange.
From looking over davmail, it set's up a pop3/imap gateway to mapi
mail services.

We use the program for commercial purposes.
There are many problems:
* Bad release management (add-on no longer works)
* Poor support
If there are no significant improvements, we will not extend a license.

Do you disagree with the above review of exquilla?
