The only item on my wishlist is a tiny 100KB daemon with a status bar icon to watch for mail so I don't need to keep a 150MB behemoth open in the background all day. Otherwise Thunderbird is already more than I'll ever want from an email client. Calendars, contact managers, and other nonsense should really be independent programs cooperating via IPC.
- ronjouch 9y agoI use https://github.com/pulb/mailnag https://github.com/pulb/mailnag for "simple mail watching", does the job and features a discrete icon and/or a sound notification. Frontends available for Shell or Unity.
- mcbits 9y agoThanks, unfortunately I'm not using Gnome/Unity, but that looks like something to try if I do switch.
- Fnoord 9y agoTinymail/Modest? Not sure if its still developed or has a spiritual successor. Modest used GTK back in the days. What does Sailfish use for this purpose? KDE Mobile?
- abrowne 9y agoIt's a Messaging Menu indicator front-end, not something Unity-specific, so it works on Ubuntu MATE and Xubuntu, for example (and Elementary OS AIUI). There's also a third-party Cinnamon frontend.
