"Had you asked me five years ago which email client I would take to my grave, the answer would have been Thunderbird. Between then and now, I've found that email client to be a bit too outdated in the UI and a bit too slow for my needs. However, I will say that the Thunderbird UI has finally evolved from that 2010-era design, but even with that evolution, Thunderbird can still feel a bit klunky."
"One of my issues with several Linux email clients is outdated UIs. But it doesn't end with looking more like early 2000s software; some of those clients have UIs that are too busy to be efficient. Sure, that old-school interface worked for a long time, but with nearly every Linux distribution now running highly modern desktop environments, the apps that go along with those operating systems should at least look like they came from the last five years."
Many Linux email clients range from terminal-based Alpine to full-featured Evolution groupware. Several clients suffer from UIs that are outdated, busy, inefficient, slow, or broken. Thunderbird was once a top choice but has felt sluggish and klunky despite UI updates. Modern desktop environments call for applications that match contemporary design standards. Geary offers a clean, modern interface that integrates well with most Linux desktops and remains visually cleaner than Thunderbird or Evolution even with multiple accounts. Geary focuses on straightforward email use rather than groupware complexity, making it suitable for users who prioritize simplicity and speed.
