I tried Thunderbird but it’s got a lot going for it. I just want something simple and minimal

Preferably a native app rather than something built with electron

I use Arch Linux

    I really like thunderbird so far, thank you for the suggestion, is there a way to get email notifications even while the client is closed tho? seems like I only get notifications if I keep it perma open.

      I usually just keep it open on another desktop. But if you really want a tray icon, there are utilities that allow sending arbitrary programs to the system tray. I havent used it for a long time, but I remember using kdocker successfully in the past.

      I’ve never used it myself, but I’ve heard a lot of people use something called birdtray to do that
