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.

Why you don't use Evolution and/or Geary?
They are basicly made for Gnome.
Geary has so many bugs and going to Gitlab to report the bug, you'll find matching issues for the same bug dating back multiple years.
Geary also doesn't offer a option for user to pull/refresh emails. Getting a 2FA code via email and waiting minutes to get the email to show up on Geary was painful.
The only thing I liked about Geary was it's notifications integration in Gnome
It used to be a buggy mess, but it has become pretty stable in recent years. I'm using it daily and can't remember the last time I encountered a severe bug.
