No, Evolution for Windows is not the way to go (ever).

First, what sort of server are you using?  Is it Exchange? A POP server?
IMAP?

As for PST files, then Evolution has a PST importer plugin, so you
should be able to get your messages in that way.  If that doesn't work,
use an IMAP server to transfer your mail out of Outlook and then in to
Evolution.  There are plenty of free email servers around that you can
use.
