i have been putting of moving back to Thunderbird for quite a while but it might be worth considering.
evolution has this habit of deferring work and trying ot update folders only when you click on them that mainly problematic for calendar invites as they dont actully show up in its calandar until you click on the invite.
I suppose we all find different ways to keep things as readable as possible. I do basically everything in 80x25 (really 80x24 with a status line) text terminals, light text on a black background. I spent so many years on old "green screen" serial terminals that it's far faster for me to read. I've never fully understood why "dark mode" support is so hard to come by, my applications have all been that way for more than 4 decades already. For E-mail I still use good ol' mutt (well, mutt-ng) set to raise a silent bell in the tmux window where it runs when messages arrive. For calendaring, I use remind in combination with wyrd configured to ping the silent bell in the tmux window where it's running so that I also get a tab highlight in my status line for that whenever I have meetings starting and such. These share the same tmux session with my IRC client (weechat), and I multi-attach to all of it over mosh from computers in different rooms of the house, netbooks, tablets, my Debian-based smart phone, et cetera. This allows me to roam from room to room, one device to another, from a parking lot to a barstool to an airplane seat, all without losing context. This is important to me because resetting or switching context is one of my biggest cognitive challenges. -- Jeremy Stanley
