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
They all fucking suck
Evolution
mu4e because it's the best email client which runs in Emacs.
Geary on mobile, Thunderbird on desktop.
I'm just using Gmail lol. I don't really do anything with email.
Fairemail
I only use K9 on Android. Everything else, web-based.
Using Evolution for desktop but about to give Thunderbird another shot I think.
Evolution here. I will likely never go back to Thunderbird.
Same - Evolution offers one thing Firebird dosen't - connecting to the work cloud Microsoft account!
If only they'd change the dumb way date time entry works for the calendar it would be near perfect.
Try gnome-calender as a evolution-data-server frontend.
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.
Thunderbird
i've always used thunderbird and never had any reason to try anything else.
I tried Betterbird, but had no end of certificate errors and trouble. Went back to tbird and all good again.
I use Thunderbird. I'm sure there might be other ones that are better, but it does the job.
I'm boring and just use Thunderbird nowadays, but sometimes I yearn for those simpler days when I daily drove aerc.
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?
Mutt.
Thunderbird is the best IMO. Mailspring is also pretty good.
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.
FairEmail
I personally use Claws Mail.
Whats the best email service? I use Thunderbird for just about everything, but gmail has been getting on my nerves lately. I would love to selfhost, but my internet service provider blocks port 25...
I personally like both Posteo and mailbox.org, but they are paid email services.
You can use them for your email, contacts, calendars, and tasks. On Android, you can use Davx5 to sync them.
I've been using Protonmail and it does the job (although not for free). To use it with Thunderbird I need to use a "bridge" background app to decrypt it though.
Same here. That works well for desktop, they also have an electron app that wraps their web ui into a desktop app and it works well enough. Bridge works very well for any other desktop app you'd want to use.
The only trouble is that on mobile your option is their app or the web interface, no ability to use alternative apps. The mobile app is good, but not great.
Overall its a good service and I'm happy bit you need to know these limitations going in or it could be frustrating.
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.
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.
I like Evolution. Has email, contacts, calendar, and todos all in one. And pgp support out of the box.
mail(1) or nedmail(1) is all I really need.
I prefer mutt/neomutt, but Thunderbird comes by default in basically every desktop-oriented distro I regularly interact with, so I end up using that most often on *nix. K-9 if I want it on my phone.
My true love is the combination of acme(1) and faces(1), but that doesn't do encryption/PGP stuff.
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 …
Sylpheed is the best. I thought everyone knew this.
That's a name I haven't seen in a while.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
