Is there an easy way to set up an email client so you get system notifications in GNOME once you receive an e-mail? (lemmy.ml)

As simple as the title sounds I'm having huge trouble getting that working.

Thunderbird only fetches new mail while it's open.

Who the heck knows how to get evolution/geary to play nice with business gmail/protonmail.

Does anyone have a simple way of solving this problem?

edit. Also, somewhat related, is there a good looking, simple e-mail client? Thunderbird looks busy. Geary kinda looks okay but I cant get it to work at all.

I'm using Claws Mail. It has a plugin that can do notifications in many ways, including a tray icon. You can configure it to start hidden in the tray, configure how often it checks email and on which accounts, to which folders the notification should react etc.
