Just installed Ubuntu 7.10, with about 250 Updates!; and the Email setup started OK.

Assuming that you can open Evolution, you can set your accounts and configuration via a click on "Edit" and scroll down to "Preferences". Then select your account or add a new one. Then click on "Edit" on the right. This will bring up the configuration panels for setting up Evolution and your account..

Thanks and this worked fine for me. Perhaps it would be adviseable to make this process more obvious to new users like me in the future?
