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/
The upcoming (recently released) thunderbird version might be what you’re looking for! It’s not yet in most official repos though.
He said he’s using Arch so it should be available. I got it on my EndeavourOS and I’m really satisfied.
Oh 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.

I’ve tried it, doesn’t seem to work, thank you though.
If you have a Qt based desktop (KDE, LXQt…) use Kmail.
If you have a GTK based desktop (Gnome, XFCE…) use Geary.dont use kmail. it has great function-ability and looks good, but it will completely break every year at least
Thank goodness you told us you use Arch
Oh, i saw your comment and tried really hard not to interact, but i really have to tell you something.
I use arch btw
What do you mean? Thunderbird is the default mail application on Windows for me. I didn’t even know there is something else.
- built with electron
Didn’t you read the ToS? Those words are considered as hate speech in every Linux communities.
Try Neomutt.
