From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I tried Thunderbird but it's got a lot going for it. I just want something simple and minimal

Preferably a native app rather than something built with electron

I use Arch Linux

How is it? I was put off the last time I tried it due to the fact that it didn't seem to run in the background. Also wasn't great with office365 (which I have to use due to work)...

I'm using Thunderbird for my outlook.office365.com email account which is managed by employer. It works perfect.

  1. Set server name to outlook.office365.com and Authentication method to OAuth2
  2. Thunderbird will give you a pop-up window, which let you fill in the username and password
  3. My account requires DUO, and it worked smoothly too.

However, it's also possible that your administrator has different server settings, denying the access of Thunderbird.

TLDR, I think it worth a try
