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.
