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.

geary/evolution seem to just… break sometimes

That's weird. I run Geary myself for a couple off accounts and so far it does the job perfectly and without hiccups.

Anyway. You may try birdtray as written in one of the other comments but I'm pretty sure I tried it at least once and for some reasons wasn't convinced. YMMW

Do you get background notifications with Geary?

Do you get background notifications with Geary?

Yes. If it helps: I run it under Gnome. Maybe you need some extra service running?! I just checked and on my machine - in addition to Geary - there is the evolution-data-server running among others (evolution-source-registry, evolution-alarm-notify, evolution-calendar-factory, evolution-addressbook-factory).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
