Yes, using the mbsync utility of isync is generally how most people I know of who use mutt/neomutt sync their email.

As stated by someone else, this isn't a gnome/kde app. I personally use abook[0] instead however.

> - dunst (notification deamon). According to https://dunst-project.org/ it looks like it uses Wayland and CentOS 7 uses X11 according to my limited knowledge. Would that be correct? If so, is there a substitute app for C 7?

dunst works under X11 as well. I've been using it as my notifications daemon for years now and that's the first time I hear about it being for Wayland?
