Install WMail – Linux Desktop Client For Gmail & Google Inbox

By Sourabh / October 26, 2016 Category: How To, Ubuntu

WMail is a Linux desktop client for Gmail and Google Inbox. WMail Gmail client for Linux Ubuntu Systems is designed to work with multiple accounts. It allows you to switch instantly and easily between any amount of accounts. There are no limits, no waiting, no losing your tabs or getting lost between which account you’re using. Spellchecking and corrections features are pretty strong as it supports more than 43 dictionaries.

For quick users, it supports all the default keyboard shortcuts of Gmail. Other features include desktop notifications, unread badges and tray access.
