Ubuntu Progress

Last night I was able to set up an account in Evolution, send myself an e-mail, and receive the message! It really shouldn’t be that much to write home about, considering all the different ways I have read my mail in the past: e-mail clients, browsers, RSS, my Zaurus, etc., etc… but this was more special because it turns out there are lots of TLAs that I have never dealt with. I was pretty sure I was dealing with POP and SMPT, and I also know I have a password. Usually this is enough knowledge but there were enough options available for me to make some bad choices. Lucky for me there is also an auto-detect button and it worked really nice.
