Is there an easy way to set up an email client so you get system notifications in GNOME once you receive an e-mail? - eviltoast

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.

    Do you get background notifications with Geary?

    Yes. If it helps: I run it under Gnome. Maybe you need some extra service running?! I just checked and on my machine - in addition to Geary - there is the evolution-data-server running among others (evolution-source-registry, evolution-alarm-notify, evolution-calendar-factory, evolution-addressbook-factory).
