I tried Thunderbird but it’s got a lot going for it. I just want something simple and minimal
Preferably a native app rather than something built with electron
I use Arch Linux
Thank goodness you told us you use Arch
If you have a Qt based desktop (KDE, LXQt…) use Kmail.
If you have a GTK based desktop (Gnome, XFCE…) use Geary.Geary
Kmail
claws-mail
The upcoming (recently released) thunderbird version might be what you’re looking for! It’s not yet in most official repos though.
I really like thunderbird so far, thank you for the suggestion, is there a way to get email notifications even while the client is closed tho? seems like I only get notifications if I keep it perma open.
I usually just keep it open on another desktop. But if you really want a tray icon, there are utilities that allow sending arbitrary programs to the system tray. I havent used it for a long time, but I remember using kdocker successfully in the past.
I’m happy with Evolution.
Maybe Geary is what you are looking for?
Mutt.
ive been using mailspring, pretty happy with it.
But mailspring uses electron tho
Evolution is nice https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Evolution
