What’s everyone’s preferred email client these days?
On my *nix machine I’m currently using NeoMutt & Aerc as MUA with different MTA/MRA. It suit my use case for reading lots of mailing list. Meanwhile on Android, currently using FairEmail. I was using K-9 Mail previously for over a decade.
Evolution, I wish I could use Thunderbird, but that crashes when signing mails with my Yubikey.
Thunderbird
I’ve tried basically everything under the sun, and keep returning to Thunderbird. Thankfully they’ve fixed the endless amount of performance issues with it.
Everything else is either in a horrible state, abandoned, or paid spyware that used to be a free project originally
I had the same experience.
Agreed
Thunderbird
They all fucking suck
The web browser.
Do you have Mozilla Suite? /s
Which web client do you prefer?
Firefox of course :) It’s the last one that has no compromises. As an example, Brave offers similar adblock and privacy features, but at the cost of having to put up with Web3 stuff. wbu?
FairEmail
Evolution
I personally use Claws Mail.
Mutt.
Evolution currently. Previously Thunderbird. I wouldn’t mind a newer client but I am only interested in native apps talking to my email server over open standards.
mu4e because it’s the best email client which runs in Emacs.
don’t really have a favorite – started with Thunderbird a long time ago but switched over to webmail fairly early on
now that I’ve started to build a new system, I started to look around at the various options (and maybe getting off webmail or at least having local storage “backup”) – the standard GUI clients (Thunderbird, Evolution, KMail, BlueMail, Mailspring) seem to be … fine – but none of them really stand out
recently stumbled across some nice screenshots of aerc and the idea sounds really appealing, but I’ve never had any contact with terminal email programs and found out they’ve followed a completely different evolutionary path than GUI apps (even terminology has diverged between the two) – GUI apps keep trying to be an all-in-one (email, contacts, calendar, tasks, …) whereas terminal programs almost seem to to favor a “balkanization” of effort – aerc looks like it’s grabbed a middle-ground, you can run it as standalone or go all in with a fully customized setup – problem I’m running into is I can find lots of “how” guides, but very little in the “what” or “why” side of things …
