I use Thunderbird. I’m sure there might be other ones that are better, but it does the job.

https://man.openbsd.org/mail or http://man.9front.org/1/nedmail 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 https://man.9front.org/1/acme and https://man.9front.org/1/faces, but that doesn’t do encryption/PGP stuff.

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’m boring and just use Thunderbird nowadays, but sometimes I yearn for those simpler days when I daily drove aerc.

CrabAndBroom ,

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

furzegulo ,

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.

CrabAndBroom ,

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.

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.

variants ,

What do you mean? I use a custom domain in proton so that my server sends emails from info@mydomain instead of my proton email. I have about 10 addresses with three different domains in the essentials plan and I can send emails from different containers as different emails

poldy ,

Gnus in Emacs, configured to use autocrypt.

ouch ,

How is autocrypt supported nowadays?

Noxious ,

Thunderbird is the best IMO. Mailspring is also pretty good.

Daeraxa ,

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.

kmail…
it integrates well with, you know…
kde…

displaced_city_mouse ,

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.

NotAnArdvark ,

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.

mesamunefire ,

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…

Whats the best email service?

Really depends on how you define “best”, but maybe Fastmail if your priority is features and usability or Protonmail if you value privacy a lot.

I would love to selfhost, but my internet service provider blocks port 25…

Selfhosting email is generally not worth it in my opinion and doing it from a residential connection is pretty much doomed to fail right from the start.

mesamunefire ,

I’ve done it once before with mailinabox. It worked for a while…then we moved.

Just seeing what my options are. Thanks!

I’ve been using Protonmail and it does the job (although not for free). To use it with Thunderbird I need to use a “bridge” background app to decrypt it though.

fuzzzerd ,

Same here. That works well for desktop, they also have an electron app that wraps their web ui into a desktop app and it works well enough. Bridge works very well for any other desktop app you’d want to use.

The only trouble is that on mobile your option is their app or the web interface, no ability to use alternative apps. The mobile app is good, but not great.

Overall its a good service and I’m happy bit you need to know these limitations going in or it could be frustrating.

I used to have lieer’s gmi (read: mbsync with gmail tag syncing) paired with notmuch. It’s good when it works, but it’s annoying to need a service in the background.

I used to use Gnus, but Gnus is sometimes weirds out if your tag filters are too complex for it

glitch ,

I like Evolution. Has email, contacts, calendar, and todos all in one. And pgp support out of the box.
