Why "missing" though? On Windows 10, Mail is quite nice. On OSX there's Airmail. On Linux there's bupkis, but that's really not what Linux is for.

This desktop client appears to load the inbox interface and gmail interface in a iframe and has extra related functionality on the side . So it isn't just an email client. Looking at it I don't see how it is much Of a desktop client unless they added offline functionality .

  It's not actually a desktop client. It's just a webapp in a thin chromium wrapper.

On Linux, there's Geary (now pantheon-mail): http://blog.elementary.io/post/139731273161/re-geary http://blog.elementary.io/post/139731273161/re-geary

  Tried it a while back. Reverted to just using web UI. Not quite there yet.

        From what I am reading it is being maintained. Is this the case or am I incorrect?
        THRWAWA20160222 11y ago
        You are right! TIL Thunderbird is still being maintained!

Ahh yes, Bupkis: my grandmother's preferred Linux desktop mail client.

For me, the main dealbreaker of Windows 10 Mail is lack support for email aliases. One can forward multiple accounts to a single gmail account and select the "From" address when composing messages.

Why "missing" though? On Windows 10, Mail is quite nice. On OSX there's Airmail. On Linux there's bupkis, but that's really not what Linux is for.
