I know I can access my mail through webmail, does ubuntu not have a mail program of its own

I don't think I explained myself very well I would like to import my present email addresses into evolution from my present isp webmail if at all possible

From within the Evolution program if you select "File -> Import" you will see all the ways that Evolution can import data from other programs. Since your ISP webmail is not a "program", you'll need a way to export the addresses from there into a format that Evolution can handle (most likely .csv).

Can you help with this problem?
