# Geary 44.1 (ARM64) for Debian 13 GNOME

This repository provides a custom **Geary 44.1 ARM64 build** for **Debian Trixie GNOME**.

The package is intended for ARM64 systems and has been **tested on Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 running Raspberry Pi OS**.

---

## Why this build exists

In recent Debian 13 GNOME updates, the official Geary packages (versions 46 and 47) no longer display:

- unread message icons
- flagged message indicators
- message markers in the conversation list

This breaks the visual layout and makes Geary harder to use.

This build restores the classic behavior by providing **Geary 44.1**, where these indicators still work correctly.
