What’s everyone’s preferred email client these days?
- GUI: Thunderbird
- TUI: neomutt
- Android: K-9 (soon to be Thunderbird)

I only use K9 on Android. Everything else, web-based.
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’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 had the opposite for some reason! Thunderbird started giving lots of weird errors, especially with Gmail, but Betterbird worked fine so I just ended up switching over.
Does Thunderbird have unified inbox? And how well does it deal with Exchange? Just do imap mode?
Yes to unified inbox, not sure about exchange but works well with IMAP
EAS is not implemented so imap and pop3 only. But i heard they currently work on EAS and should be arriving in the near future.
For EAS there is also a paid plugin Owl i think.
They all fucking suck

kmail…
it integrates well with, you know…
kde…I tried KMail and Organizer for a few weeks, but they kept losing connection with Gmail. My calendar would get out of sync, and they only way to fix it was to reset the connection and redo all the appointments.
I’m sure it was user error, since I couldn’t figure it out after spending a couple hours on it, so I just dropped back to webmail and not leaving the mail tab open all day.
I tried using KOrganize which had KMail and some other stuff integrated together and ended up feeling like it was a gigantic, archaic codebase just hanging on by a thread. It struggled a lot with Gmail and several times I deleted my whole mail profile to try to fix some strange bug.
If I recall, what did me in was that it would stop sending emails after running for a while. The fix had something to do with restarting Akonadi. It was really disappointing, because I love a good UI/Plasma integration.
I use Thunderbird now and … eh. It’s ok.
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.
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 done it once before with mailinabox. It worked for a while…then we moved.
Just seeing what my options are. Thanks!
Great question. Gmail is still OK, but if love to degoogle more.
Yeah I would love to get off google. Good to know others are thinking the same.
Mutt.
I prefer Claws Mail. It does what I need it to.
The interface is a bit bare bones and 90’s but I like it that way. It’s a good and reliable client.
I use Thunderbird if I’m using Plasma and Geary if I’m using Gnome
I personally use Claws Mail.
Thunderbird’s not bad, but I usually use web stuff.
I have an existing iCloud e-mail that I haven’t had the time to switch off of. I then use G-Mail for school stuff - since I’ve signed away my soul to Google anyway, might as well use what they have to offer.
Maybe one day, I’ll start my own personal e-mail utopia, nut that day is not today.
Gnus, aerc, neomutt
I have everything aggregated into Gmail, so I just use web and the mobile app. I’m looking at Proton but it doesn’t have the “send as” feature for external SMTP services the Gmail does.
This is exactly what I’ve been trying to move away from :/
I’m honestly a bit surprised that Proton doesn’t seem to have the send as feature. I was able to find at least 15 posts across their uservoice.com site and their Reddit forum, spanning at least 6 years, with one of the uservoice posts having over 300 votes. I just gathered up all the links and sent it into Proton Mail support. Hopefully having all that thrown at them in one big bundle will prompt their project managers to consider it.
