Evolution als Linux-Alternative zu Calendar
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Evolution is a heavier, more complex replacement for GNOME Calendar. It covers all basic scheduling needs—viewing events, setting alarms, and managing multiple calendars—while adding email and contacts. If you only need a simple interface to view dates and set reminders, Evolution feels cluttered. However, if you want to sync with CalDAV servers, manage tasks, or handle email without switching apps, it is the better choice. It is not a lightweight drop-in replacement but a full PIM suite that requires more configuration to feel right.

Ihre Calendar-Dateien öffnen
Evolution uses the standard iCalendar (.ics) format, which is the same format used by GNOME Calendar. You can import .ics files directly into Evolution. If you have local calendar data stored in GNOME’s internal format, you may need to export them as .ics files first before importing them into Evolution. Direct file sharing between the two apps’ internal storage directories is not standard practice, so exporting to a common standard is the reliable method.
Von Calendar zu Evolution wechseln – Schritt für Schritt
- Export your existing calendars from GNOME Calendar as .ics files
- Install Evolution via your package manager or Flathub
- Launch Evolution and set up any necessary CalDAV or local accounts
- Use the 'Import/Export' function in Evolution to load the .ics files
- Verify that events appear correctly in the desired calendar views
- Configure system notifications if they do not appear automatically

Is Evolution too heavy for just checking my schedule?
Yes, if you only need to view dates. Evolution loads email and contacts modules, which can feel slow and cluttered. If simplicity is your priority, stick with GNOME Calendar or try a lighter alternative like KOrganizer if you are on KDE.
Can I sync Evolution with my phone’s calendar?
Yes, via CalDAV. Most modern phones support CalDAV. You need to enable CalDAV in Evolution’s account settings and provide the server URL, username, and password. This allows two-way sync of events.
Does Evolution replace the need for a separate email client?
Yes, it is a full email client supporting IMAP, POP3, and SMTP. If you currently use Thunderbird or another email client, you can consolidate everything into Evolution, though you will need to migrate your email accounts and data.
