What about BlueMail? It’s available on Linux.
I missed that 
I was curious after finding it so I tried to get it running on Linux and I have it installed using Bottles now. So I will try it out now.
Last time I tried this it wasn’t working, will try it again.
Looks like no CalDav and CardDav support as they seem to be focussed on big mailproviders who provide that through some other protocol from what I can find.
I got it working but had to use a flag(–in-process-gpu) to launch it, has no CardDav support, only CalDav support and when adding my Nextcloud calendar it won’t accept any form of my calendar url. It looks better than Thunderbird and Evolution but since it doesn’t have support for both a no go for me.
Between BlueMail and EMclient, Emclient looks way better, just too bad they have not CalDav and CalDav support or else I would probably use it, even with bottles. But then if I would want to buy a license I would run into the next issue which is activating a license which doesn’t work on Linux.
Here’s a screenshot of EMclient, just the calendar because if I shared a screenshot of the mail tab it would show my email adress.

I tried to run eM Client in the past. Tried Bottles and Wine and didn’t get it to work. It started 1 time and when trying to open settings it crashed. And then it crashed on every start … What exactly did you do? Where did you add the flag?
I was wrong about this seems now that EMclient does have CalDav and Carddav support, must hve been old information I came across. I had to add it a separate account.

That flag I had to use to get BlueMail to run.
For EMclient I created new bottle and selected sys-wine-10.0 as the runner instead of soda-9.0-1 because with the latter one EMclient kept crashing at the end of configuring my mail account.

I was wondering that this shouldn’t work, but couldn’t remember from my Windows usage …
Will try that! Thanks!

I have a working with EMclient installed using Bottles now. So I have my mail, calendar and contacts. Will use it for a while to see how I find it compared to Thunderbird and Evolution, the only thing I have found so far is that it won’t maximize on Linux when you hit the maximize button.
I wonder if this is old information as well since I thought first add CalDav and CardDav information was recent but I ended up finding a way to do it.

I did come across this issue but more people seem to be having this.
But this seems to be the solution for that.

It supports EAS (Exchange Active Sync). Might your email server support that? At least some open-source ones do and it makes email, tasks and calendar setup a lot more unified.
It did see this.
Seems like a free licensing for personal account is limited to two e-mail addresses but I bet you can get around this by installing EMclient multiple times in different bottles, but I don’t need more than one so no need to go there.
I host my own mail setup which is made up of several components. Postfix and Dovecot are just for mail, I currently use Nextcloud for syncing my calendar and contacts from one place which uses CalDav and Cardav.
Correct. Actually, I’m using 4 accounts and so I need a license. But I have 2 lifetime licenses. So I’m fine.
Did you make any other modification to the bottle you are using than switching the runner to sys-wine-10.0?

I only switched the runner to sys-wine-10.0 during the creation of the bottle, I’m using the Flatpak version of bottles since that’s the recommended way of installing it and I’m on Fedora.

I’m on EOS and installed Bottles from AUR. Fingers crossed that it will work …

Be sure to install wine then if it’s not a dependency for it.
If you get it to work let me know if you are able to activate your license when running it through bottles/wine. If that’s not possible you can always do what I mentioned before to get around it.

Did that already. Lutris needs it also.

After going through the same shortcomings for each and every client on Linux i decided to lower my purist requirements for a better experience. i switched to mailspring. It’s still open source but requires a login.
I’m happy with it.

I was previously using Thunderbird. I recently switched over to Evolution but for now I’m also testing out EMclient using bottles, works quite well so far. I didn’t like mailspring because for the lack of support for CalDav and CardDav.
