I just can’t find a decent email client that looks like it’s from the last 20 years. Geary and Evolution both appear to be pretty modern but something about using Gmail with a Yubikey just doesn’t work and neither of them will connect to my account. Both on Fedora and OpenSUSE. Thunderbird works but it’s so old fashioned and Betterbird doesn’t look much better. What’s everyone else using?
You can use birdtray for notifications
Did you mean birdtray? It’s in the AUR and I try to install mostly (not a hard rule) from official repositories.
It should be in the Debian repos
You probably can install it with distrobox
That’s too much. Distrobox and then installing from another distribution, different package manager and repository is not something I want to do and maintain. Just checked it, its in the Flatpak/Flathub repository.
And I remember using birdtray in the past, but uninstalled it for reasons I forgot. I think it did not support what I needed. Meanwhile I have my own custom solution, so its fine for now. Thanks for the suggestion however.
