As simple as the title sounds I’m having huge trouble getting that working.

Thunderbird only fetches new mail while it’s open.

Who the heck knows how to get evolution/geary to play nice with business gmail/protonmail.

Does anyone have a simple way of solving this problem?

edit. Also, somewhat related, is there a good looking, simple e-mail client? Thunderbird looks busy. Geary kinda looks okay but I cant get it to work at all.

    If you receive these notifications on mobile, you can use kdeconnect which sends pop up notifications on your desktop from your phone, as a workaround. If you’re running gnome, you can use gsconnect.

      I love the idea of kdeconnect but it wreaks havoc on my battery, on both phone and laptop.
