Evolution is fairly accessible, so I don't know what's wrong in your case. It can handle IMAP folders - have tried it 
myself.
Did you succeed in setting up your mail accounts? Did you choose an external SMTP server, you write something about 
local spool folders. I think Evolution can handle this setting too, but I'm not familiar with this. You should be
prompted only once for your password, provided you set your account up that way.
When Evolution starts correctly, you should adjust some settings in the view menu, but that's the next point.
