From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A good e-mail client for linux? (feddit.it)

I have been using KDE for a while, while I like many features I am looking for suggestions to the default email client:

Kmail - completely unusable for me and the only one which could maybe be integrated with kontacts, it could not receive mails from IMAP or pop or would receive only sometimes

Geary - good but too minimal, I need at least some kind of contact list and mailing lists feature, maybe this integrates with gnome contacts? I couldn't find anything in settings

So what is the point of an email client? I've only ever really used web pages because it did everything I need.

For me it's handy because I have multiple email accounts so I can just open Betterbird and check them all at once without having to log into several different pages.

@dukeofdummies @CrabAndBroom +1 for Betterbird, it's Thunderbird that works

[–] Spaniard@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Thunderbird already works.

@Spaniard It's all good if it works for you, no problem.
For me TB lacks a few things, I have a vague feeling that BB is what TB would have been if Mozilla still cared for users more than other things 🥲

Multiple accounts, offline backup, better UI, don't need to log in, etc.
