Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

After all these years with the same unmodified icon I wonder if it's time to refresh it a bit.

Describe the solution you'd like

Like with the rest of our icons, move towards the design language of material icons.

Examples

  • https://materialdesignicons.com/icon/email
  • https://materialdesignicons.com/icon/email-outline

Describe alternatives you've considered

Probably makes sense to put that in line. Just a note though, materialdesignicons.com is a community site – we need to always check the official Material Design icons at https://material.io/icons before. :) (Also we use rounded filled icons, not outline.)

In this case it’s of course simple as it’s just an email icon, so it would be this: https://fonts.google.com/icons?selected=Material%20Icons%3Aemail%3A

Also cc @cartierbresson @karlitschek regarding marketing and branding – this probably makes sense since we switch everything else to Material Design icons, so it doesn’t look out of place.

Sure. No strong opinion here

Does anyone know if/how we need to attribute the icon source if we make a copy for our app icon?

I suppose we can do it like Calendar and https://github.com/nextcloud/calendar/blob/main/img/LICENSES.md
