<item><p>Select your authentication type in the Authentication list, or click <gui style="button">Check for Supported Types</gui> to have Evolution check for supported authentication mechanisms. Some servers do not announce the authentication mechanisms they support, so clicking this button is not a guarantee that available mechanisms actually work.</p></item>

<item><p>If you would like to have a copy of the address book on the server for offline access to it, enable <gui>Cache offline address book</gui> and click <gui style="button">Fetch list</gui>. Afterwards, select the address book from the available options.</p></item>
<p>If you want <link xref="mail-filters">Filters</link> to be automatically used for new messages in your inbox, enable <gui>Apply filters to new messages in INBOX on this server</gui>.</p>
