Re: [Evolution-hackers] Latest Evolution version on Windows 10

[Adam Seering <adam seering org>]

For what it's worth, I currently use Evolution on Windows 10 using WSL 
(Microsoft's Linux binary compatibility layer) and VcXsrv.

It's a pain to set up, though; definitely not a supported use of WSL; has 
performance issues, doesn't integrate super nicely.  Definitely for 
power-users only.  But it works :-)
