Geary 44 introduces conversation list and headerbar tweaks

A new version of open source Linux email client Geary has been launched, bringing exciting updates to enhance the user experience. Geary has gained popularity among Linux users for its lightweight and user-friendly approach to email management.

With support for popular email protocols like IMAP and SMTP, Geary seamlessly integrates with webmail services such as Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, and Outlook.

Geary 44 introduces a new conversation list and reworked headerbar, aiming to improve the email management process. While the exact details of the new conversation list remain undisclosed, it is expected to enhance the app’s underlying structure. The reworked headerbar introduces a new ‘Select’ button alongside the ‘Search’ button, with rearranged toolbar icons in the message view.

Mobile users and those in narrow portrait mode on desktops will notice that the toolbar previously present at the bottom of the conversation list view has been removed, while the toolbar in the message composer view remains unchanged. Geary 44 also addresses various bug fixes and minor improvements, including network detection issues, engine suspension during system suspension, UI translation updates, and smaller UI enhancements.

It continues to evolve as a reliable email client for Linux users, offering threaded conversations, efficient search capabilities, and seamless integration with popular webmail services. As an open source project under the GNOME umbrella, Geary relies on community contributions and feedback.
