Hey. I’ve been user of Thunderbird for so long. But I’m thinking about an alternative Email client which is more lightweight, and faster.

I actively participate in mailing lists so…

  • Dark theme
  • Easily sending plain text emails
  • RTL support
  • Support of Perso-Arabic script

Recommendations?

    I use Thunderbird because I get roughly the same user experience across all platforms. For linux-only I’ve heard a lot of users love evolution, though I’ve never daily-driven it myself. I can’t even answer whether it meets your requirements, but wouldn’t take long to install it and find out for yourself.

    Given all the options, Thunderbird and Evolution seem to be the best. So I’m sticking to Thunderbird…

    I tried Merkuro and KMail but Merkuro didnt do anything and KMail couldnt be setup with the weird IMAP server of an organization

    Still worth a try though and Qt for sure has RTL and other scripts

    I can’t speak from personal experience but Emacs has RTL support, is themeable, and there are a few plaintext email clients implemented on top of it that could work for you.
