I need a good email client that isn't thunderbird or mailspring or any of the other old ass crusty email clients that all suck. Seriously, why do we not have good email clients on Linux? Maybe I'm just asking too much

@thelinuxcast I’ve yet to find a good email client, so in the meantime I use KMail. It looks a bit ropey on HiDPI screens though so I’d love to change to something better.

@thelinuxcast nothing satisfies you 🫤

Try https://bluemail.me

Do you have a spec to get started on? Some user stories?

This sounds like some great content, too… building a better email client, an open source journey, day 0…

(I worked at Netscape back in the Communicator days, so I do lean toward the effort going in to the ongoing, under-funded development of T-bird, which I use, but that´s me)

What do you mean by good email clients?
What functionality do you need that those crusty ones lacked?

@uncomfyhalomacro I don't, but I might make one

@thelinuxcast if you're willing to pay, the new Linux proton email client looks promising.

@darkufo I don't use Proton. I did pay for it, but I just didn't care for it. Ended up with Zoho

@thelinuxcast Geary is awesome. For the usual email services, it is flawless.

@Nuldorv I've always found it quite slow and I don't care for the UI. It's not bad, but a little too simple for my tastes
