From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have several mails for different projects. Also private + university mail. Then I have my Google mail that I exclusively use for everything related to android/app store.

Checking all those mail accounts at once, managing folders/filters and signatures is all way easier with a desktop mail client.

Some years ago I was like you. I only needed to read mail and I have to admit that a desktop client is not really necessary in that case.
