Evolution como alternativa Linux a Windows Contacts
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
Evolution is a strong replacement for Windows Contacts if you also want email and calendar integration. It handles all basic contact management tasks reliably—storing names, emails, phones, addresses—and supports groups, search, sorting, and local storage. The interface is more complex than Windows Contacts, so it may overwhelm non-technical users. However, for those already using or open to a full PIM, Evolution offers deeper functionality without forcing cloud sync. It’s ideal for users wanting a self-contained, desktop-based contact manager on Linux.

Evolution does not directly read Windows Contacts .contact files, which are proprietary. However, you can export contacts from Windows Contacts as vCard (.vcf) or CSV through third-party tools or scripts, then import them into Evolution. Evolution fully supports vCard format for both import and export, ensuring compatibility with most contact managers. If the user has many .contact files, a batch conversion tool on Windows will be necessary before migration.
