EvolutionLinux vs Windows Live MailWindows

Evolution como alternativa Linux ao Windows Live Mail

Atualizado em 23 de outubro de 2026

Nossa avaliação

Evolution is a solid replacement for Windows Live Mail. It bundles email, calendar, contacts and tasks in a single window, supports IMAP, POP3, SMTP, CalDAV, and EWS, and offers built‑in encryption. It is best for users who need a full‑featured personal information manager on Linux and are comfortable with a slightly steeper learning curve. For casual users who only need basic email, a lighter client might be easier.

Abrindo seus arquivos do Windows Live Mail

Windows Live Mail stores data in .pst files and a proprietary database format. Evolution does not natively import .pst files; users must export mail as .eml or use a third‑party tool such as pst-utils to convert to mbox before importing into Evolution. Contacts and calendar data can be exported as vCard or iCalendar and then imported. No direct compatibility exists, so migration requires intermediate conversion steps.

Trocando o Windows Live Mail pelo Evolution, passo a passo

Export all mail from Windows Live Mail as .eml files (or use a tool to convert .pst to mbox).
Export contacts as vCard (.vcf) and calendar events as iCalendar (.ics).
In Evolution, create new mail accounts and point them to the exported folders or import the mbox files via File → Import.
Import vCard files into Evolution’s address book and iCalendar files into the calendar.
Verify that all accounts and data appear correctly and adjust any missing settings such as server ports or SSL options.

Perguntas frequentes

Can Evolution import my Windows Live Mail .pst files directly?

No, Evolution does not support .pst import. You need to convert .pst to mbox or .eml first using tools like pst-utils.

Does Evolution support the same RSS feeds I used in Windows Live Mail?

Evolution can read RSS feeds, but it requires installing the Evolution RSS plugin or using a separate RSS reader. It does not have a built‑in feed reader like Windows Live Mail.

Will my calendar events sync with my Exchange server after migration?

Yes, if you set up the Exchange account via EWS in Evolution, your calendar events will sync. You may need to re‑import existing events into the Exchange calendar if they were stored locally.
