Evolution, alternative Linux à Windows Mail
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
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.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Windows Mail
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.
Passer de Windows Mail à Evolution, étape par étape
- 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?
It uses more memory and CPU than the very lightweight Windows Mail, but on a modern system the impact is modest.
Will my contacts from Windows Mail transfer automatically?
