Yes, I'd agree.  That's what I'd look to do if I had a free hand.

The problem is that the computer in question is 600 miles
away (including a ferry crossing) and in the care of my non-geek brother,
connected via a French (speaking) ISP.
The default settings on the system don't seem to allow mail to send to
external addresses but I know that Evolution works.

So if I can use Evolution, I've less to set up remotely. :-)

Now this *does* look like the ideal thing.  I've downloaded it, and will 
experiment
to see how easy it is to set up.  If it is a trivial job, then I may well 
give it a try.

Thanks to all for responses.
