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?

The whole concept of having to do dark mode on a per-app basis seems bizarre. Like, IMHO, this should be something that GTK or Qt handle systemwide. Yeah, maybe for a few apps they need a little work to adapt to dark mode, like if they generate images or something, but...

I use mu4e in emacs in a terminal, and my terminal is light-on-dark, but I imagine that that's probably not what you're looking for.

With GTK default theme should set the mode. You even have tools that change the theme from light to dark version during the night. But for some reason it doesn't work with evolution build for debian and I don't feel like fixing it.
