Evolution mail client is now available on Windows!

Posted by mypapit on 21 Jun 2006 in Other Operating System

Evolution, the GNOME desktop email client is now available on Microsoft Windows from now on. So Evolution lover can now use their beloved email client on Windows instead of substitute it with Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird.

The installer can be downloaded from itssourceforge.net project page and the download size is about 48MB. Like gaim and xchat under Windows, evolution depends heavily on GTK+ library and the application itself has a distinguish GNOME look on your desktop.

Users who are not used to Evolution on GNOME desktop might complaint about how Evolution “stands out” from other Windows application, not to mention about GTK+ quirks under Windows (the stubborn tooltips phenomenon).

All in all, it’s nice to have Evolution ported to Windows Desktop as users now have more choices of email clients, giving diversity. That’s the beauty of free software.

   Worth trying, but I believed most Windows users prefer Thunderbird nowadays.

   That may be. Except Thunderbird is more of a replacement for Outlook Express while Evolution is a replacement for Outlook since it supports calendaring, tasks, etc…

   Evolution works fine on my Ubuntu laptop but not on my Windows laptop. With the Windows version, I can not synchronize with an Microsoft Exchange Webmail. With the Linux version this is not a problem at all.

   I work with XP but when I try to connect with the server, I got the message ‘Could not connect with Server. Check the URL en try again’ The URL is surely good. What can be the problem?
