Evolution como alternativa Linux a Windows Mail
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
Evolution is a solid replacement for Windows Mail if you need more than just basic email. It handles multiple IMAP/POP3 accounts, offers full calendar support with iCal/ICS, and provides search and backup options. Users who prefer a single, integrated interface for mail, calendar, contacts and tasks will feel comfortable, while those who only want a very lightweight client may find it heavier than necessary.

Evolution can import standard MIME email files (.eml) and iCalendar (.ics) files, which covers most data exported from Windows Mail. However, Windows Mail’s proprietary backup format is not directly supported, so you may need to export messages to .eml first using Windows Mail before importing them into Evolution.
Pasar de Windows Mail a Evolution, paso a paso
- Export your mail from Windows Mail to .eml files (or use the built‑in export to .pst and then convert to .eml)
- Copy any .ics calendar files to a known folder
- Install Evolution from your distribution’s repository or via Flathub
- Open Evolution, run the Import wizard, select Mail and Calendar, and point to the exported files
- Configure your accounts (IMAP/POP3/SMTP) and verify that mail syncs correctly
- Set up any desired filters or keyboard shortcuts

Can Evolution handle Exchange accounts?
Yes, Evolution supports Exchange Web Services (EWS) and can sync mail, calendar and contacts with Microsoft Exchange servers.
Is Evolution resource‑heavy compared to Windows Mail?

Will my contacts from Windows Mail transfer automatically?
