I'm on a network where everyone is using Windows except me. Now I have this problem that the mail server is on a windows host mailserv.company.local and the only way I can access this host is through samba: smb://mailserv.company.local but how do I set my machine to receive mail from this server?

If it's using standard email protocols (SMTP, IMAP/POP, etc.) then almost any email client will do. If it's an Exchange server then you'll need to use Evolution with the Exchange connector.

What software is the mailserver using? is it exchange?
You might be able to access it using IMAP.

"is it exchange?" -- He said it's on a Windows host. :-) – amphetamachine – 2011-02-15T09:22:35.367
@amphetamachine: Exchange is not the only mail server that runs on Windows. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams – 2011-02-15T09:23:58.357
@Ignacio: I realize that. That's what the smiley face is for. – amphetamachine – 2011-02-15T09:59:02.823
Thanks. I wasn't clear enough. The server is using exchange that's why I struggled to connect. But looking at Evolution, I used the Echange connector as you suggested and it's working now :) – MrD – 2011-02-16T06:43:33.150
