KMail als Linux-Alternative zu Windows Live Mail
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
KMail can replace Windows Live Mail for users who need a full‑featured, open‑source email client with calendar, contacts, and newsreader support. It handles IMAP/POP3, multi‑account setup, and PIM integration, making it suitable for people who already use KDE or prefer a single application for email, calendar, and contacts. It is less convenient for users who rely on Windows‑specific features like the old Windows Live Mail data format or who want a lightweight, non‑KDE environment.

Ihre Windows Live Mail-Dateien öffnen
KMail does not natively open Windows Live Mail data files (.pst or .wlt). Users must first export messages from Windows Live Mail to a standard format such as EML or MBOX, then import those files into KMail using the import wizard or by dragging the files into the mailbox. Direct conversion tools are not available.
Von Windows Live Mail zu KMail wechseln – Schritt für Schritt
- Export all mail from Windows Live Mail to EML or MBOX files via the export function.
- Export contacts to a CSV or vCard file.
- Export calendar entries to an iCalendar (.ics) file.
- Install KMail from your distribution’s package manager (e.g., apt install kmail).
- Configure KMail with your email accounts (IMAP/POP3) and set the same identities as before.
- Import the EML/MBOX files into the appropriate mailbox folders in KMail; import contacts and calendar files into KAddressBook and KOrganizer.
