Evolution como alternativa Linux ao Thunderbird

Atualizado em 22 de outubro de 2026

Nossa avaliação

Evolution is a solid replacement for Thunderbird if you want tight integration between email, calendar, and contacts in a single native Linux application. It handles IMAP/POP3, has strong standards compliance, and supports CalDAV, LDAP, and Exchange via EWS. While it lacks built-in RSS and native chat (IRC/XMPP/Matrix), it covers core email, calendar, and contact needs well. Users who rely on RSS or real-time chat inside the client will need external tools. It's best suited for those prioritizing organization and integration over extensibility or lightweight design.

Abrindo seus arquivos do Thunderbird

Evolution does not directly import Thunderbird profiles, but you can export mail folders in standard .mbox format from Thunderbird and import them into Evolution. Contacts and calendars can be transferred via vCard and iCalendar (.ics) files. While there's no one-click migration, all core data types are exportable and compatible using standard formats. Third-party tools like Thunderbird's ImportExportTools add-on can assist in preparing data.
