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:
