Linux e-mail notifier

  • 772

I have Ubuntu Mate 20.04.1 LTS (Focal Fossa) 64-bit. Please advise me how to be notified on my e-mails without continuously checking out e-mail boxes. Thank you.

  1. Good things to try are:

    • MailNag (fork of Popper), it is installable by

      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pulb/mailnag
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mailnag

    • Mozilla Thunderbird with BirdTray, installable by

      sudo apt-get install thunderbird birdtray

      BirdTray minimizes Thunderbird on start and then monitor its mail folders to indicate number of new e-mails and show notification about new mails.

  2. Evolution, the standard GNOME e-mail client, also informs about incoming mails via notifications. There is also an additional package, evolution-indicator, that displays notifications even when Evolution application is not currently running.
