[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

      I didn’t know about birdtray. I don’t know how but Gnome Calendar (Flatpak) + Evolution seems to be giving me background notifications for now. I looked at Birdtray it was 700mbs or something, I don’t see the point of Flatpaks being that huge. I mean, I need to buy a new laptop if I need to run all flatpak. Anyways, thank you!

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

    I know of one alternative that is really good: Thunderbird.
