What's your email client of choice?
I have been using Outlook for the longest time and have tried FairEmail a couple of times and simply deleted it. Tried sticking through it for about a month and I'll be sticking with it for a good long time now :)
I quite like using K-9 Mail, it merged with Thunderbird and great things are coming for it, I think it's awesome
Another vote for K9 mail. One of the few android email clients that allows pgp keys.
first time I hear about K-9, glad I read this!
The problem I have with K9 is that the great things have been coming for the past decade - even before the Thunderbird thing
Do you know why its Google Play rating is so abysmal? Everyone seems furious about some redesign, but lemmy loves it.
Redesigns are always perceived poorly. Every decrease in performance, every lost feature, every relocated setting is heavily felt by all the power-users. For new users tho, K9 probably became more viable/attractive.
Eventually people will get used to the design, performance issues will get fixed, new features will be (re)added and the rating will improve again.
Same thing happened with the Firefox Android Browser.
Gmail because I'm super boring and it works.
Except that now I have to use Outlook too cause Uni moved from Google to Outlook
I REALLY liked the Inbox app they made for gmail. Sadly, like all the best things google makes, it went the way of the dinosaurs.
You can add an outlook account to the gmail app. You may have to add it as Microsoft exchange instead of a regular Outlook account though, but the process is the same.
I suggest you use Outlook Lite instead of the normal Outlook. It's a lot lighter and will not prompt you to add any MDM profiles if your institution set any up
Also Gmail, because the spam filtering is great.
I keep a copy in Thunderbird though, just in case my account 'goes away' somehow.
Same! I do have k9 and Thunderbird but Gmail is just so convenient with filters and labels too!
K9 mail on Android since many years and Thunderbird on laptop, also since many years. Also use Gmail, Yahoo Mail.
Please don't hate me, but I use the Gmail app on Android since it works well enough.
On my desktop though I use Thunderbird, and have for about as long as I can remember.
Thunderbird is the best. Been using it since many years and had no major issues.
+1 vote for Thunderbird
K-9 on Android, Thunderbird on desktop!
second thunderbird!
K9 Mail is my favorite one so far. I've tried FairEmail but the UI was confusing.
I use ProtonMail. Additionally, i have set up e-mail aliases with my domain - i get e-mail addresses like kbin@mydomain.com, or personal@mydomain.com. Its quite useful when i suddenly get sent a bunch of random spam e-mail.
I can then just block that e-mail from receving e-mail, its quite handy.
Nine, best for a full Outlook experience and a calendar color picker
Hello, fellow Nine user! Glad to see at least some other people are aware of it.
Same, it's great! It also works well on a tablet.
I like FairEmail on Android and don't see myself switching to something else anytime soon. For the desktop I use Thunderbird
ProtonMail, Simple Login, and FairEmail.
I mean, thunderbird has been around forever and it's never done me dirty.
Same here, It's the second thing I install on a new computer, the first being Firefox.
Every morning when I turn on the computer, I start Firefox and Thunderbird, and then leave Thunderbird in the background, quietly doing its job.
I use k9 mail for my personal mail.
I use FairEmail, too. I didn't like GMail and K9.
What didn't you like about K-9? I used FairEmail for a while and was happy enough with it, but K-9 seemed like a huge upgrade when I finally made the switch.
For me personally, K9's design seemed very unintuitive and complicated, when I first tried it almost 10 years ago. FairEmail for me is a great compromise between usability and feature-richness.
K9 is probably completely different from a decade ago, but I guess I will wait until K9 has merged completely with Thunderbird, before I look into it again.
I used FairMail. Nice and minimalistic with focus on security and privacy. Also OpenSource. Bought premium back then I had it. (I don’t have Android anymore , that’s why I can’t use it)
On Android I use FairEmail. I prefer it for it being FOSS.
I second this. This is one of the few apps I actually paid for.
I only used K-9 Mail for years
K-9 on Android, Thunderbird on desktop. I love both of them, but K-9 has some weird problem that background sync appear to be not working.
Desktop = Thunderbird
Android= AquaMail
Outlook. It's solid on android and windows
Used to be a big fan til they started sneaking Bing search into my long press context menu.
Agreed, it's the best app I could find for using multiple accounts
Spark for Android
Edison. I use it on my Pixel, iPhone, and iPad. It has some more advanced features I don't use, it just has a simple, straightforward UI on iOS and Android and doesn't hassle me too much about upgrading to paid features.
ProtonMail :) (Edit: Oh i see client! (no matter as long as it works with ProtonBridge, or just web UI)
I ❤️ FairMail. It is so customizable and versatile, I even bought the pro version for support.
Thunderbird!
Thunderbird on the desktop, Aquamail on Android, RoundCube/SquirrelMail via the web in a pinch. Back in the day I also used Evolution on Linux (when T-bird was buggy and lacking some features). Despite having many email buckets in the cloud, I keep no mail in any of them. I've self-hosted since '99, so I've been able to do whatever.
I did use Outlook back in sepia times (pre-'98) and used Pegasus and/or Pine before that. :p
Outlook drains my phone battery so fast I cannot use it. Stick to FairEmail now.
Used Gmail for a long time, 2 weeks ago switched to Outlook and simply amazed. It's easy to use, doesn't show you any ads unlike Gmail. And keep tracking the mails is much more enjoyable compared to Gmail. I believe it can do more of that if rules can be applied to Google mail accounts.
Either k9 or the native email client (Samsung Email, LG Email, ...) when they have a good Systemwide integration.
Patiently waiting for Thunderbird on mobile with k-9 so Gmail it is atm
Thunderbird with Lightning to reproduce all the outlook functionality
On Android I use Re:Work, like interface the best. Before that I have used previous app from the same developer (I think it was Nine mail?).
On Windows I really disliked Thunderbird, so currently testing out emClient.
neomut, because I have linux brain damage
I used AquaMail for years, but they just decided that this fall they will go subscription, and old paid users who bought the app will not get all features. So, I've transitioned to the paid (one time purchase) version of Nine email app(by 9folders). It is equally capable, working with my free accounts and my O365 corporate account (including synching calendar). I looked at several open source options, and none were competent to deal with my Work O365 stuff.
I have been using Nine for literally over a decade. Amazing app, very well supported.
Gmail on mobile, Gmail website on desktop
Thunderbird has worked well for me
Protonmail connected to my domain
Web based only here. I have multiple address though so the "client" varies. Outlook, gmail, Proton.
I started using Spark late last year. It's simplified my mail handling quite a bit. There's also a desktop client for Windows, Dunno about OSX and IOS.
i'm just using tutanota since they don't work with 3rd party clients
Gmail. Never put much thought about it tbh
Literally just started using k9 mail on my phone and it is amazing. It just does all of the setup for you.
Web portals. I use web portals.
For Gmail users on Mac desktop, I really can’t recommend Minestream enough, if a paid app isn’t a dealbreaker. It’s designed by ex-Applers and implements gmail’s API completely— even to the point of the signature editor and vacation auto responder and having a mode that only shows unread messages and starred messages in your inbox (which is kind of a badass way to stay on top of busy mailboxes).
Protonmail is the way
I've probably tried every client out there and repeatedly keep exploring, but I always end back on Newton
Big fan of outlook tbh, it works well and both on iPad and android
I've migrated from just using a gmail account to using Anonaddy which point towards a Tutanota email. The migration was PAINFUL, but glad I persisted and went through with it.
Been using mutt for years, and I still love it. But getting it to works is more and more of a pain nowadays, and I find myself using whatever webmail my company uses (right now O365). For personnal emails, mutt on the desktop, and a selfhosted roundcube for when I don't have a client.
Careful if you're using Outlook on Android. From what I've read, it doesn't actually locally handle non-exchange accounts like IMAP or POP3 (why are you using POP3 though). It's done on Microsoft's servers, so your basically giving Microsoft your e-mails. I'm not sure what kind of access they get to them from the privacy agreement you probably just clicked past.
So Outlook in Android users Microsoft servers to fetch your mail, and the client just shows whatever the server got.
