I've used Roundcube for years and finally got fed up with it breaking on every update because of the plugin system. Are there better options around?

Believe it or not, NextCloud. It actually can work as an email client. And it can sync calendars, contacts and todo list too.

one year ago it was unbearably slow AND it copied hundred of thousands of emails on the database clogging everything, did it drastically improve?

[–] redcalcium@c.calciumlabs.com 0 points 1 year ago

Whelp, nextcloud isn't known for being fast. I don't have hundreds of thousands of emails yet so I can't comment on that, but one thing for sure is as you put more and more data on it, you'll have to add more CPU and RAM to it or it'll getting more and more sluggish.

Crossbox is not bad but for individual usage it's too expensive, the pricing is for sysadmins with hundreds of users

I’m back to Mail clients. Webmail is a compromise that didn’t work out for me well.

I use Gmail at work because I have to. It’s good for it’s company integration, but privately no thanks.

Same for me. I'm a die-hard Thunderbird fan (it's ugly but it works lol).

Used to use TB at work until we switched to Google Workspace and they globally disabled IMAP access. Now I'm stuck with webmail and my productivity went to absolute shit.

Have you updated to the new version 115? The UI has had a bit of an overhaul and looks more modern.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 1 points 1 year ago

I haven't but I definitely should. Just refreshed my laptop with pop os and have been using the default mail client with it (Geary?). It is really responsive and works well with the tiling plugin.

Yeah, I mostly use Thunderbird and FairEmail but it's nice to have a backup when I'm in places I can't use those, or can't be bothered setting up a new client.
