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

    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

    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 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.
