Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

PROBLEM

To set up Evolution with a webmail account, I click through a half-dozen
screens filled with technical jargon and options I don't understand.

HOW TO REPRODUCE

1. Perform a fresh installation of Evolution (all user settings removed).
2. Run Evolution for the first time.

If step 2 does not reproduce the bug, ask a non-technical friend or
family member to perform steps 1 and 2, and ask him or her if he or she
encounters it.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

Evolution, like other software packages on the default Ubuntu desktop,
will have limited options but sane defaults. It will not be confusing or
intimidating to set up, and the average nontechnical user will be able
to get it to connect to his or her webmail account without assistance.
