Thanks to @thesaneuser:matrix.org for providing these intstructions

  1. Install Evolution and Evolution-ews on your distribution of choice.
  2. Open Evolution and select Edit -> Accounts.
  3. Then, click Add -> Mail Account.
  4. Click next to begin.
  5. For your Identity, put your full name and then your Rose-Hulman email address as your email address.
  6. Uncheck the box labelled "Look up mail server details based on the entered e-mail address", then click next.
  7. For the configuration, put the following details: Server Type: Exchange Web Services Username: [Full Rose-Hulman email address] Host URL: https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx OAB URL: [Leave blank for now] Authentication: OAuth2 (Office 365)
  8. Check the box for "Override Office365 OAuth2 settings", then input the following Application ID: [Leave the default] Tenant ID: 6c373827-e5b7-45a7-ae27-b17e388fcad4
  9. If your tenant ID doesn't work, you can get the correct one from https://portal.azure.com/#settings/directory. It is the Directory ID from the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology directory.
  10. Click next.
  11. Set your Receiving Options according to user preference. Click next.
  12. Set the name of the account to whatever you want. Click next.
  13. Click apply. A login box should open for your Rose-Hulman account.
  14. Login in to your Rose-Hulman account in the box. The window should close and the account will be added, but will fail to sync.
  15. Right click on the newly created account and select Properties. Click the Receiving Email tab. Make sure that the Host URL is still an office365 domain, and not Rose-Hulman.
  16. Click Fetch URL, the button next to the Host URL text box. The OAB URL should now be something like "https://outlook.office365.com/OAB/8c7bf602-f4ea-49ad-baf0-d51245a12d1c/oab.xml";.
  17. Click OK.
