How To Configure An Email Account In Evolution. This tutorial shows step by step how to set up a POP3 email address with Evolution Email under the most Linux distributions. I'm assuming that Evolution Email is already installed on your system. Open Evolution Email, if you open it the first time you will see a window like that. Configure Evolution. Launch Evolution. Go to Edit- Preferences or hit Shift+Ctrl+S. Choose your email account, left click on it once, and then click Edit. Click on the Security tab (found on the far right). The electronic organizer Evolution is an email and groupware program that has proved very popular among Linux users as a free Outlook alternative. As part of the GNOME desktop environment, it’s become a standard mail client for many Linux users.
