sharunIs there a Linux mail app that's similar to the default one in Windows 10/11
SpaceNoodleThank goodness you told us you use Arch
Maybe Geary is what you are looking for?
Geary
Kmail
claws-mail
Lexi SneptaurYou’re looking for Geary
LukeGeary ?
gabriele97I use geary
- built with electron
Didn’t you read the ToS? Those words are considered as hate speech in every Linux communities.
Try Neomutt.
As a funny coincidence, your post showed on my home page 2 posts apart from this one:
(Microsoft forcing migration from the default mail app)
This sucks :(
I tried their new pwa app and its trash
pH3raIf 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
Geary?
Mailspring is not native, but looks more or less native (depending on why you prefer a native app, this might work).
Ascend-910Maybe you want to try MailSpring, It is very customisable, and there are many different pre-configured layouts to choose from
nakalWhat do you mean? Thunderbird is the default mail application on Windows for me. I didn't even know there is something else.
Evolution is nice

The upcoming (recently released) thunderbird version might be what you’re looking for! It’s not yet in most official repos though.
BalsshHe 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
What are you talking about? It’s trivial to install a new app. One command, no reboot.
sudo pacman -S thunderbird literally effortless.
Yup. Because it’s in the main repos. Though with all the hype around it, I felt kinda disappointed with it. For me, it didnt follow the typical 3 column layout, and opened the actual email under the list of emails, rather than next to it.
You can adjust that, just so you know. It’s configurable!
Yeah, I couldn’t find how, and I’m no longer on Arch (unrelated), thanks anyways.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ScotinDubHow 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)…
🇪🇺 Yet Another Owl🕯️🕊️I do not know what the default MS mailer looks like or even if my answer is relevant, as you may already know this piece of software.
If one looks for a mail app mimicking MsWin, I remember there is (was?) one called Evolution that looks like the old Outlook
I’m using Thunderbird for my outlook.office365.com email account which is managed by employer. It works perfect.
However, it’s also possible that your administrator has different server settings, denying the access of Thunderbird.
TLDR, I think it worth a try
⸻ Ban DHMO 🇦🇺 ⸻It is available on snap in the beta channel if you want it through a package
HR_PufnstufNO SNAPS!
Do grow up
shapisI 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.
NiaI’ve never used it myself, but I’ve heard a lot of people use something called birdtray to do that
I’ve tried it, doesn’t seem to work, thank you though.
buwhoive been using mailspring, pretty happy with it.
But mailspring uses electron tho
I’m happy with Evolution.
