On: Desktop App for All Your Email

No Linux support? Aww.

I know. Can we not get ONE email client for the desktop that isn't Thunderbird? I'd pay money for this if it was on any Linux distro.

Geary is the closest thing to date but I don't think it's production ready.

Do you like commandline mail programs? There are several good ones. Stringing them together is a lot like like clicking together lego blocks: one for downloading mail, another for editing new mail, another for sending mail, another for searching mail, ...

Takes a while to set up, but I'm far happier with my offlineimap+notmuch+emacs+msmtp mail stack than I could ever be with Thunderbird.

I was never able to stick with the terminal for email. The last time I tried though was with Pine in 2003 (ha) so maybe I'm due for a 2nd chance.
