Alcedo is an early, Linux-only GNOME mail client built with GTK4, libadwaita, Rust, and Relm4.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-28 issue.

Field notes

Alcedo combines a unified inbox with a three-pane GNOME layout that also includes mail, calendar, and contacts. The page says message data and metadata remain in local SQLite storage, while passwords and tokens use the system keyring. Gmail and Microsoft accounts authenticate through browser-based OAuth with PKCE; Yahoo and generic IMAP accounts use app passwords. The project is currently presented as version 0.1.0 for Ubuntu 26.04, with installation from source rather than a binary package.
