Configuring the Evolution mail client for MFA with Exchange Web Services (EWS)

Step by Step

These instructions assume that you have already installed Evolution Mail and the corresponding "evolution-ews" package for your Linux distribution.  The screenshots are from Red Hat Enterprise 7.6, Evolution version 3.28.5 so, depending on your version of Linux, what you see may differ from what is presented.  Step 4 has all the "magic values" in it.  The rest is fairly self-explanatory.

1. Launch Evolution.
2. You may automatically see the Configuration Assistant.  If not, you can start it from the File menu.  File: New: Mail Account
3. Click Next to get to the Identity page. 
   • Enter your Full Name as you wish it to appear to recipients of your email.
   • Enter your Dartmouth email address.
   • Uncheck the "Look up mail server..." box
4. Click Next to get to the Receiving Email page.  There is lots to change here.
