[SOLVED] Need a Thunderbird/Evolution alternative which can send me notifs in the background [xfce MX Linux]

[Gnome Calendar Flatpak + Evolution seems to do this fine] /usr/libexec/evolution-data-server/evolution-alarm-notify seemed to be notifying me of tasks. Thank you for all the help.

Some relevant command which might have helped me get the alarm notification thing working

I need Calendar but EVERY app I have tried so far doesn't support background notifications or don't run on my system. I want one good app, flatpak or not which can

  1. Notify me of tasks, to do lists etc
  2. Give me notifications for the mails I receive.

I don't know why, even evolution won't do this for me.

Thank you for your help! I installed flatpak Gnome Calendar after using 1 GB of internet bandwidth but no luck

Kmail and Korganizer do that, natively.

They are available on xfce right? Thank you btw! I will give it a go if my current setup fails

They should work on XFCE yes.

QT apps looks not so good in any GTK window environment... And they do not follow general setting about windows.

Ive had issues with kmail syncing properly sadly, when I get an email it goes into two folders, and I need to mark both as read
