What’s everyone’s preferred email client these days?
Evolution, I wish I could use Thunderbird, but that crashes when signing mails with my Yubikey.
- GUI: Thunderbird
- TUI: neomutt
- Android: K-9 (soon to be Thunderbird)
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.
Thunderbird
Thunderbird
They all fucking suck
I’m boring and just use Thunderbird nowadays, but sometimes I yearn for those simpler days when I daily drove aerc.
Yeah every once in a while I get restless and start thinking I should learn how to use Mutt or something, but I always end up going back to Thunderbird/Betterbird lol
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?
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.
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.
I like Evolution. Has email, contacts, calendar, and todos all in one. And pgp support out of the box.
Geary on mobile, Thunderbird on desktop.
mail(1)ornedmail(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)andfaces(1), but that doesn’t do encryption/PGP stuff.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.
