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.

    If you receive these notifications on mobile, you can use kdeconnect (gsconnect on GNOME) which sends pop up notifications on your desktop from your phone, as a workaround.

      I love the idea of kdeconnect but it wreaks havoc on my battery, on both phone and laptop.
