GNOME Evolution

A personal information manager and email client for GNOME.

GNOME Evolution combines email, calendaring, contacts, and tasks in a single application, with strong integration into GNOME's Online Accounts framework and good support for Microsoft Exchange via the EWS plugin. It is the default mail client on Fedora, Debian-with-GNOME, and several other GNOME-based distributions.

Evolution started life at Ximian in the early 2000s as a free PIM aiming for feature parity with Microsoft Outlook. The project survived Ximian's acquisition by Novell, Novell's acquisition by Attachmate, and the subsequent diaspora of Ximian developers, eventually settling under the GNOME project where it has been maintained ever since.

Evolution is one of relatively few free Linux applications that plays well in heterogeneous corporate networks: Exchange support (free, real-time, in-tree) is rare among open-source mail clients. The application is particularly common on Linux desktops in enterprise environments that mandate Exchange calendaring.
