It's just what you expect it to be. Easy to set up email client.

Really lightweight but still feels modern, so it's good for lower-end hardware. IMAP features are 90% of what most people will need, most of the time. Plain text email, formatted email, moving messages around, multiple accounts, etc. Comparable to Apple Mail icon Apple Mail, but for Linux.

It's just email, and assumes you have another application for contacts and calendars. (Think of it in terms of the classic Unix philosophy of using multiple tools, each of which does one thing well.)

Unfortunately there's still that remaining 10% for which you'll probably need your mail provider's web interface or something more complete like Thunderbird icon Thunderbird, but Geary is plenty for most day-to-day use.

Good email client for Linux. It's simple, fast and modern, and it has enough features for my needs. Only thing is it could be a bit more customizable, but that's not a big deal.

Creating accounts is very easy, and the handling is very intuitive.

The linux setup for everyone (freeware with GUI only and distro recommendations)

THIS LIST HAS BEEN DELETED DUE TO A BUG, SO IT MISSES SOME HONORABLE MENTIONS ! I've been using Linux for a year now. I do use CLI tool and the terminal but I'm super used to GUI and I do understand why you might don't want to bother with Terminal and stuff ! Here is my list of useful tools for beginners on Linux ! The same list for macOS : Windows 10 :
