Is there a Linux mail app that's similar to the default one in Windows 10/11
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
This doesn't really answer your question, but you may want to consider hanging on to Thunderbird given massive UI upgrade that's coming very soon for it: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2023/07/our-fastest-most-beautiful-release-ever-thunderbird-115-supernova-is-here/
45ReplyIt’s released already, just not in flathub yet.
9ReplyOoooh. That looks good. It’s going to take a while to get used to a new Firefox design after using the same ui for 15 years 😅

If you have a Qt based desktop (KDE, LXQt...) use Kmail.
If you have a GTK based desktop (Gnome, XFCE...) use Geary. 22Replydont use kmail. it has great function-ability and looks good, but it will completely break every year at least

12ReplyThe upcoming (recently released) thunderbird version might be what you're looking for! It's not yet in most official repos though.
9ReplyHe said he’s using Arch so it should be available. I got it on my EndeavourOS and I’m really satisfied.
3ReplyOh I missed that he's using arch. In that case, he can install it from AUR, possibly building it himself, followed by only a few hours of troubleshooting what broke in his system after doing that :-P

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.
2ReplyI 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.

How is it? I was put off the last time I tried it due to the fact that it didn't seem to run in the background. Also wasn't great with office365 (which I have to use due to work)...
1ReplyI'm using Thunderbird for my outlook.office365.com email account which is managed by employer. It works perfect.
- Set server name to outlook.office365.com and Authentication method to OAuth2
- Thunderbird will give you a pop-up window, which let you fill in the username and password
- My account requires DUO, and it worked smoothly too.
However, it's also possible that your administrator has different server settings, denying the access of Thunderbird.
TLDR, I think it worth a try

It is available on snap in the beta channel if you want it through a package
0ReplyNO SNAPS!

You’re looking for Geary
6ReplyAs a funny coincidence, your post showed on my home page 2 posts apart from this one:

(Microsoft forcing migration from the default mail app)
6ReplyThis sucks :(
I tried their new pwa app and its trash

I use geary
5Reply 5ReplyI'm happy with Evolution.
4Replyive been using mailspring, pretty happy with it.
3ReplyBut mailspring uses electron tho
1Reply
Maybe Geary is what you are looking for?
3Reply*BTW
3ReplyEvolution is nice https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Evolution
3ReplyMaybe you want to try MailSpring, It is very customisable, and there are many different pre-configured layouts to choose from
1ReplyMutt.
1ReplyMailspring is not native, but looks more or less native (depending on why you prefer a native app, this might work).
1Reply- built with electron
Didn't you read the ToS? Those words are considered as hate speech in every Linux communities.
Try Neomutt.
-5ReplyWhat do you mean? Thunderbird is the default mail application on Windows for me. I didn't even know there is something else.
