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

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

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.
