Is there a Linux mail app that's similar to the default one in Windows 10/11
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/

9 0 ReplyOoooh. 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.20 0 Replydont use kmail. it has great function-ability and looks good, but it will completely break every year at least

12 0 ReplyThe upcoming (recently released) thunderbird version might be what you're looking for! It's not yet in most official repos though.
9 0 ReplyHe said he’s using Arch so it should be available. I got it on my EndeavourOS and I’m really satisfied.
3 0 ReplyOh 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.
2 0 ReplyI 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)...
1 0 ReplyI'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

- built with electron
Didn't you read the ToS? Those words are considered as hate speech in every Linux communities.
Try Neomutt.
3 0 ReplyMailspring is not native, but looks more or less native (depending on why you prefer a native app, this might work).
1 0 ReplyMaybe you want to try MailSpring, It is very customisable, and there are many different pre-configured layouts to choose from
1 0 ReplyWhat do you mean? Thunderbird is the default mail application on Windows for me. I didn't even know there is something else.
