Evolution is one of the software solutions that let Windows users enjoy the power of Linux, as this particular application has been initially developed to deliver emails right on the desktop of Linux users.

Well, Evolution is now on Windows and just like it’s expected, setting it up is nothing different from what we’ve seen on other email clients out there, be them compatible with Windows or other operating systems.

Evolution comes with a configuration wizard that loads just after you successfully install the application, so just follow the steps and write down your email account information.

While the interface is very clean and easy to use, just like it’s the case with the most powerful email clients on the market, Evolution loses a lot of ground when it comes to the way it flirts with the Windows operating system.

We can’t help but agree that this program looks and works great, but only when the user isn’t assaulted with errors.

We’ve tried it on our Windows 7 testing machine and although it initially worked pretty smooth, it then crashed every once in a while. Plus, it sometimes became unresponsive and had no other choice but to kill the process from the Task Manager.

Fortunately, Evolution has a great potential, so let’s just hope that all this drawbacks will be fixed in the next versions.

Until then, it remains just an attempt to bring a great Linux program on Windows, so if you really want to give it a try, go ahead and do it. It’s freeware after all.
