Geary, a lightweight email program designed around conversations and built for the GNOME desktop by the Yorba software group, is now at version 0.4.

The software is developed by Yorba, the same team responsible for Shotwell, a photo manager that is the default applications in major Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and Fedora.

The latest version of Geary includes per-account full text search, automatic save to draft, a better user interface, per-folder unread email count, experimental support for Outlook.com, enhanced “show external images” preference, better handling of attachments, malicious link checker, and hundreds of bugs fixed and small improvements.

You can download a source package for Geary 0.4, but developer said that Ubuntu users can also find a version for Raring Ringtail (13.04) and Quantal Quetzal (12.10) on Yorba’s PPA.
