Ask them how to access your mail from your smartphone. If you don't have
one just pretend you're evaluating which one to get.
Thank you for that suggestion.
It turns out that they have just that information on their website.
I was wrong about POP:
* Account type: IMAP
* Incoming mail server:
imap.ndsu.nodak.edu
* Incoming mail server encryption: SSL on port 993
* Outgoing mail server:
smtp.ndsu.nodak.edu
* Outgoing mail server encryption: TLS on port 587
* Username: Your NDSU Electronic ID
* Password: Your NDSU Password
That said, I still can't do it.
evolution tells me
evolution-mail-Message: Error occurred while existing dialogue active:
