I use this on my GNU/Linux System it runs fast and lets me know when i get an email quickly. Dont know how much memory it pulls so have to check up on that. It does Imap only
Tried Thunderbird, but I didn't like the UI and how it synced my mail. Geary, on the other hand, is simple, sleek and fast. Recommend.
Agree 100% - couldn't get Thunderbird (Ubuntu) to download mail from my Hotmail account, Geary OTOH is fast and simple.

Sleek, simple interface with just enough features for casual email users.
Easy to set up, great yet simple UI.
Though it's true that the company that originally developed Geary has been closed, Geary is not dead. It's Code has been moved to the GNOME Website (https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Geary) and there is still some development activity.
All the other email clients have problems with the way gmail is handeling labels, this one is the only one except the official Chrome extension that keeps your labels as labels and so it's a perfect way how to have gmail stored localy. Thumbs up.
There is no contact list or address book for the millions of contacts that i just pull off the top of my head from memory!.. Whats with that?...otherwise i would make it default.
You can use Gnome Contacts for that
