Preamble

It is best to start by asking your company’s IT-manager for details cause they can and will be different from mine. 

Note: The contents of any angle brackets (including the angle brackets
themselves) must be replaced with your appropriate details.

In Davmail you need to change just a few settings, all but one on the Main TAB of the settings window.

Davmail

Main Tab

Exchange Protocol: I needed to set it to EWS but that can be different for you, so ask your IT-manager.

OWA (Exchange) URL: http(s)://<mail.company URL>/owa

Port numbers: are setup the way they should be so don’t change those. As you can see they are the normal port numbers for the different services added with 1000: POP is normally 110, now it is 1110, etc.

Delays: no need to change those cause the default settings work just fine

Advanced Tab

SMTP save in sent: UNCHECK

If it is checked Davmail stores a copy of your sent mail in your sent mail folder, just as your mail program does. You end up with 2 copies of every sent mail. Just uncheck this item. That’s all for Davmail.


Kmail

For Kmail you need to setup an Identity and an e-mail account. The new identity gets only a few filled out details.

General TAB

I filled out my name and my e-mail address.

Advanced TAB

On the Advanced TAB I chose the Sent and Drafts folders on the company’s server so I can also reach them when I am at the company. The default domain is your company’s domain, the IT manager knows it if you are unsure.

All other TABs are left as is.

Add your company's e-mail account in Kmail

First we look at the Receiving mail

General TAB

General TAB: you fill out a name for the account. This can be anything but I chose the name of the company so I can easily see which account it is.

IMAP server: localhost   Davmail is your server and it is local so your server address is localhost.

Username: <company-domain name>\<login name> does it for me. Ask IT for details.

Password: is your normal password for this mail account.

Advanced TAB

Choose the new identity as the one you use for this account.

Connection Settings:

I had to choose

Encryption: None

Port: 1993 for IMAP and

Authentication: Clear text but these are details which can and probably will be different for your situation so ask IT.


Now we handle the Sending mail

General Tab

Outgoing mail server: localhost

Server requires authentication: on

Login: <company-domain name>\<login name>

Password: ********

If you like you can check the Store SMTP password checkbox.

Advanced TAB

Encryption: None Port: 1025 for SMTP Authentication: LOGIN

Summation

And that’s it. This works for me but as said several times before: it can and will be different for your company so ask for the details.
