I used Thunderbird a while back, but I thought I'd switch to an email client that had a newer template and was easier to manipulate. I chose to use geary, but how do I activate the tray icon to receive notifications about new emails?
Currently I still can not activate the geary tray icon in ubuntu. But the same has an option via command line, to stay active in parallel called --hidden.
So the geary stays on standby and notifies every time a new email arrives.It was not what I was looking for, but it solved part of my problem.
Geary 3.32.1 supports Ubuntu's dock indicator and messaging menu extensions, so if you are running that version, it should just work.
