I just can’t find a decent email client that looks like it’s from the last 20 years. Geary and Evolution both appear to be pretty modern but something about using Gmail with a Yubikey just doesn’t work and neither of them will connect to my account. Both on Fedora and OpenSUSE. Thunderbird works but it’s so old fashioned and Betterbird doesn’t look much better. What’s everyone else using?

    Evolution. It works with MS Exchange.

    I have an elderly and rather unloved Gmail account for testing and spam reception only and a couple of Yubi keys so I’ll see what I can do with them. I probably ought to use the Gmail account more but I’m concerned that Google will kill it off 8) I got it when the G stood for gigabyte because everyone else set quotas in the 10s or low 100s of megabytes. “Do no evil” Google were as cool as fuck but that was a long time ago. Sad really.

      I set up Evolution for my work office365 account. It worked exactly for 2 days. Now, it constantly keeps asking for password again and again and nothing shows up. I’m trying out Thunderbird with Owl plugin (trial) and that works flawlessly. Any tips on getting it to work on Evolution?

        I’m not all in on MS online yet so I can’t help you. We run Exchange on prem. I am the MD of my company and have views about the way forwards (and it won’t involve MS)

          The owl plugin for Thunderbird is very good. I have bought a paid subscription to that. Everything works fine with Thunderbird now.
