I am using Geary in Gnome in Arch Linux. I cannot get spell check to get in Geary. All I see is an empty list in the spell check window. Evolution also said I don't have a dictionary installed. I wonder what dictionary I should install in order for the spell check to work for these mail clients?

When you write or reply an email, at bottom right you should have a [ab] button.
This is where you can enable a specific spelling corrector.
If nothing is available. You should install some dictionaries.
Checking spelling
Geary supports spell-checking your composed email in one or more languages, as you type. To enable spell-checking, first ensure your computer has spell-check dictionaries installed for the desired languages. Consult your computer's help to determine how to install dictionaries if not present.
To select languages for spell-checking, click the Spell check button on the formatting toolbar, and the language selection popover will appear. Click on a language in the list to toggle it on or off, and click the - button to remove it from the list. If a language does not appear in the list, search for it by typing its name in the search box, then click the + button to add it.
