As simple as the title sounds I’m having huge trouble getting that working.
Thunderbird only fetches new mail while it’s open.
Who the heck knows how to get evolution/geary to play nice with business gmail/protonmail.
Does anyone have a simple way of solving this problem?
edit. Also, somewhat related, is there a good looking, simple e-mail client? Thunderbird looks busy. Geary kinda looks okay but I cant get it to work at all.
I’m using Claws Mail. It has a plugin that can do notifications in many ways, including a tray icon. You can configure it to start hidden in the tray, configure how often it checks email and on which accounts, to which folders the notification should react etc.
