I am a new ubuntu user. I try to replace windows stations by ubuntu stations.
I ca choice between 2 mail application : Evolution or Thunderbird but i have a problem with the two :

1 - Evolution
Ok for me (mail, calandar and tasks en french language) but I can nort open .eml files
Is there a way to open .eml files with evolution ?

2 - Thunderbird
I can open .eml files with Thunderbird (Thunderbird become default application to open .eml files)
Problem : calandar and taskc are in English only. No way to find a French package. (package lightning-extension).
Is there a way to have calandar and tasks in French language ?

Thanks very much for help

evolution will not open .eml files as you have discovered


HOWEVER

you can convert the .eml files so they can be read
