Sorry - I though gnome had had an email application like kmail.
Apart from using T-bird (now, for me, only usable on my 16.04
installation), I tend to stick with the most powerful and reliable
end-user email application; alpine (originally named pine), and this
googlymail thing (which has got increasingly nasty).
Funny about google trademarking its webmail thing - in Australia, we
have a retail chain (a bit like a dunny cistern flushing chain) named
K-mart, which is, I think, an Australian version of Walmart, that uses
the name kmail, for, I think, its marketing newsletter email.
