You probably have something set wrong on your end. Double check the server names, ports, and authentication. If you can't get Evolution to play, try Thunderbird. With either program, you will have to enter your password at least once and you have the option of having the client remember the password so you do not have to enter it every time. At my school we switched to microsoft for email a while ago and there are two ways that I know of that work. The approach I took, since I do not care for outlook and I like gmail, was to use the web access to login to my email MS account and setup forwarding, so that all of my school email gets forwarded to my gmail account. Gmail will let you set your account up so that you can use your school email address as the from address for messages that you send (you can also use the gmail address as the from address - there's a dropdown list to select the address). If you don't want use gmail then Thunderbird will work. A professor that I work for uses Thunderbird on his home system and it works fine. As was mentioned in the discussion about Evolution you have to make sure you check the box for TLS and get the server settings right. One nice thing about using Thunderbird is that your messages get downloaded to your system so you can still get to the downloaded messages if your internet connection goes down, or if you use a laptop and are somewhere with no access. When I had a dodgy ISP at home I used to use Thunderbird to download my gmail messages. Whichever way you wind up resolving this, once you get it working be sure your email client is set to leave the messages on the server. I'm not sure about this, but deleting messages on the server after they are downloaded may be the default.
