Ubuntu 14.04 - Install Geary Email Client

Geary is an email client that has a better looking UI than Thunderbird, in my opinion.

Install

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:geary-team/releases -y
sudo apt update && sudo apt install geary -y

When you launch the application, it will default to asking for your gmail account details. For this, I would generate an app specific password.
