I'm trying to find something and it's not easy. I'm using claws now and I doesn't seem to have dark mode.

Evolution should have it but my theme is set to 'Adwaita-dark' and evolution ignores it?

Thunderbird pissed me off by removing the tray icon...

I tried aerc but it didn't connect to my mail server for some reason.

Any other decent client that does support dark mode?

I've switched it out for Thunderbird, but PopOS comes with Geary which has a nice dark mode.

Turns out Geary was removed from Debian packages because of some stupid unmet dependency. But hey, it's not my first rodeo. I built it from source. Had to install some dependencies and hack the meson build script a bit but it worked. Aaaaaand... no dark mode. Looks like all the new Gnome tools only work well in gnome. Geary also doesn't have a tray icon, it only supports the Gnome widget or whatever it's called.

For whatever reason I don't see it in Debian's packages. Will check it out later, thanks.
