Thunderbird all the way 🙌

Thunderbird for desktop computer, K-9 mail for mobile phone.

Thunderbird is fine.

Maybe I have too much grey in my beard - I don't care how modern it looks.

Thunderbird. Hate the redesign. If it ain't broke dont fix it.

K9 for phone

I still have pgp signs, but no one has used it to encrypt back to me in years. Don't know why I keep those on there and active

Thunderbird on desktop, although I don't love it.

FairEmail on Android.

Thunderbird. It's great

I am not sure how to make it look shitty like Gmail, maybe you could theme it to wast a ton of space.

Seriously, do you want a useful email client or not?

Thunderbird had a redesign not too long ago. I mean, maybe you still consider it old-fashioned, but did you check you're on the latest version?

Thunderbird. Idk what you mean by old fashioned. It works fine, and you can style it with gtk themes.

On Android I use K-9 Mail, which looks modern to me.

I mean everyone has their preferences, but personally I don't use email clients because I want to look at something pretty—I use them to read my emails. Thunderbird mostly matching my gtk theme is more than enough for me.

I use Thunderbird and I don't think it looks old, specially after recent updates. You can also change the colors which is pretty cool.

Why is Thunderbird old? It recently had a major redo and was rebranded with the supernova branding. Try the flatpak version.

What do you find "old-fashioned" about Thunderbird? Do you not consider an interface "new" if they don't change it and hide all the common features every five minutes like Microsoft does? It's an email client, you read your emails in it. How would you do it better?

Mutt.

Thunderbird with the conversations add-on. It's a game-changer that makes it much easier to transition from Gmail.

I'm using KMail (part of Kontact PIM suite)

Thunderbird, much like Firefox, is the best because it's the least bad.

Old school here, I use mutt. :P on android I use FairEmail and really like it.

I just use Protonmail's web client. Fast, sleek, similar polish to gmail imo.

For an actual desktop client, Thunderbird with Dark Reader addon and some tweaks for theming.

Honestly though, I just prefer the web client from Proton, it's really nice.

Web browser

mutt, because it looks like it's from the last 20 years. Of the 20th century.

Thunderbird. It's familiar to me and I like the calendar too.

Honestly there isn't a good one, Thunderbird is as close as it gets but it's buggy with things like CardDAV and it's slow.

Evolution. It works with MS Exchange.

I have an elderly and rather unloved Gmail account for testing and spam reception only and a couple of Yubi keys so I'll see what I can do with them. I probably ought to use the Gmail account more but I'm concerned that Google will kill it off 8) I got it when the G stood for gigabyte because everyone else set quotas in the 10s or low 100s of megabytes. "Do no evil" Google were as cool as fuck but that was a long time ago. Sad really.

Am I the only one using Evolution here? I really like everything about it. All in one, simple, responaive.

After Thunderbird's UI overhaul I jumped around a bit and landed on Claws Mail. It's fairly old fashioned, but I personally prefer that and find it clear and logical. It's a good client.

Using Evolution for nearly a decade now.

Cannot say anything about using it with a Yubikey.

Concerning Evolution: It never let me down, always worked and is comparatively lightweight.

Thunderbird was quite slow/heavy/memory hungry many years back. KMail ate my emails, failed at integration of GMail accounts etc etc etc. In the past I also liked Sylpheed, but AFAIK it doesn't have any OAUTH support etc. by now.

When nothing big changes, I guess only Thunderbird and Evolution are good investments, because they seem to be the only clients which are stable now and have enough users/active developers to not disappear randomly.

Web browser and Proton mail app on my phone.

Claws-Mail is still alive and well and works great. Lots of plugins, you can write your own post processing actions, custom powerful filters, customizable interface etc.

Thunderbird. Being on Plasma, I would use Kontact / KMail but it randomly refuses to send emails for me.

K-9 on Android and Evolution on Ubuntu (Thunderbird is installed, too).

Unironically neomutt

gnus on emacs

Thunderbird. I even use it as my RSS feed reader. The only problem it has is it does not have any tray icon to indicate new unread mails (I wrote my own program for this). They are working on a tray menu, if I'm not mistaken. I have 5 mail accounts from different providers. Backing up is easy, and on a new OS installation I just need to copy over the entire directory and its like I never left my system (same for Firefox).

Tuta's web client.

It gets the job done and I don't use email much any more.
