    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.

    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’ve just moved to Thunderbird. I was never keen on the old design and found it rather clunky but the new UI I find much better.

    I was using Mailspring but it has recently just refused to work on my device and I never even got a response on the community forums so I’ve just given up on it.

    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.

    Thunderbird’s not bad, but I usually use web stuff.

    I have an existing iCloud e-mail that I haven’t had the time to switch off of. I then use G-Mail for school stuff - since I’ve signed away my soul to Google anyway, might as well use what they have to offer.

    Maybe one day, I’ll start my own personal e-mail utopia, nut that day is not today.

    I use Thunderbird. I’m sure there might be other ones that are better, but it does the job.

      I tried KMail and Organizer for a few weeks, but they kept losing connection with Gmail. My calendar would get out of sync, and they only way to fix it was to reset the connection and redo all the appointments.

      I’m sure it was user error, since I couldn’t figure it out after spending a couple hours on it, so I just dropped back to webmail and not leaving the mail tab open all day.

        I tried using KOrganize which had KMail and some other stuff integrated together and ended up feeling like it was a gigantic, archaic codebase just hanging on by a thread. It struggled a lot with Gmail and several times I deleted my whole mail profile to try to fix some strange bug.

        If I recall, what did me in was that it would stop sending emails after running for a while. The fix had something to do with restarting Akonadi. It was really disappointing, because I love a good UI/Plasma integration.

        I use Thunderbird now and … eh. It’s ok.

      I tried Betterbird, but had no end of certificate errors and trouble. Went back to tbird and all good again.

      Great, a subscription based mail program. Because that’s clearly what people want and need, paying rent for the software on their machines.

        Nothing about the program itself is subscription based. All of the normal features of an email client (that you would also find in Thunderbird) are available for free. You only need to pay if you want to use their services like Send later, read receipts or link tracking, because these requires backend servers and actually costs the money.
