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

Although the service nominally provides IETF SMTP and IMAP compliant

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 :
end excerpt that is followed by examples of the various GUI boxes 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.
Doesn't Evolution ship with Exchange support these days?

I see my RHEL7.4 box have both evolution-ews and evolution-mapi
packages.
Possibly, but ever since evolution ate my mailbox (admittedly years
ago) I've stayed as far from that as possible... I also simply prefer
the environment of Thunderbird over highly integrated mail clients
One other thing that really irked me about Evolution (and kmail and the
other highly integrated mail clients)... They all seem to want to run a
database server (usually mysql at least it's not postgres). I hated it
in ccMail (Yes, I've been dealing with mail clients THAT long. it later
was integrated into Lotus Notes) and I hate it now.
I understand WHY they want/need to do that... Multiple applications
sharing the same data, BUT to me that means they should REALLY rethink
what they're doing.
