<p>Guide written by <a href="https://github.com/kgdn">Kieran Gordon</a>.</p>
<hr>
<p><b>(Tested on Fedora Linux 36.)</b></p>
<p>Due to the proprietary nature of Microsoft Office 365 and Outlook, and the university requiring Two-Factor
Authentication (and restricting the creation of App Passwords), some additional steps are required to
access the email system on GNU/Linux systems. There are several different email clients for GNU/Linux but for
this
example we'll be using <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Evolution">GNOME/Evolution</a>.</p>
<b>
<p>Important! This guide may not work for other email clients. Refer to the documentation for your email client
for more information.
</b></p>
<p>To start, install Evolution using your distributions' package manager. Examples are shown below.</p>
<b>For Ubuntu, Debian and other Debian based distributions: </b>
<div class="code-block">
<code>
<p>sudo apt update</p>
<p>sudo apt install evolution</p>
<p>sudo apt install evolution-ews</p>
</code>
</div>
<b>For Fedora/RHEL/CentOS based distributions:</b>
<div class="code-block">
<code>
<p>sudo dnf update</p>
<p>sudo dnf install evolution</p>
<p>sudo dnf install evolution-ews</p>
</code>
</div>
<b>For Arch Linux (and Arch-based distributions):</b>
<div class="code-block">
<code>
<p>sudo pacman -Syu</p>
<p>sudo pacman -S evolution</p>
<p>sudo pacman -S evolution-ews</p>
</code>
</div>
<b>For Gentoo Linux (and Gentoo-based distributions):</b>
<div class="code-block">
<code>
<p>sudo emerge evolution</p>
<p>sudo emerge evolution-ews</p>
</code>
</div>
<p>Alternatively, you can install a Flatpak version of Evolution. A guide on how to install Flatpak is available <a
href="https://flatpak.org/setup/">here</a>.</p>
<b>
<p><i class="fas fa-info-circle"></i> The Flatpak build of Evolution ships with evolution-ews built in.</p>
</b>
<div class="code-block">
<code>
<p>flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Evolution</p>
</code>
</div>
<p>Once installed, open Evolution and press <b>File → New → Mail Account</b>. You will then be prompted to
follow a wizard.</p>
<p>Next, enter your Heriot-Watt Email Address, unselect "Look up mail server details based on the entered email
address" and click <b>Next</b>.</p>
<p>Enter the following for each of the following fields:</p>
<ul>
<li>Server Type: <b>Exchange Web Services</b></li>
<li>Username: <b>Your Heriot-Watt Email Address</b></li>
<li>Host URL: <b>https://outlook.office365.com</li></b></li>
<li>Authentication Type: <b>OAuth2 (Office365)</b></li>
</ul>
<p>Then click <b>Fetch URL</b>. You will be prompted for your password, and if successful, the fields at the bottom
filled in with the correct values.</p>
<p>Finally, click <b>Next</b>, and alter any settings you wish. Click <b>Next</b> again, and then finally you can
then click <b>Finish</b>.</p>
<p>If everything went according to plan, you should be able to access your email account from Evolution!</p>
