From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I’ve been wanting something too! What I really want is something that interfaces natively with Exchange server as well as integrated inbox for multiple accounts.
The one product that exists is Blue Mail which is pretty nice except that half its functionality is broken. I’ve been in contact with their support multiple times over many months and eventually they just gave up. Its functionality is limited by arbitrary glitches and unknown limitations which they simply don’t want to bother fixing.
Trying to get the hang of meli on my laptop & K-9 on (unGoogled) Android
Why is Thunderbird old? It recently had a major redo and was rebranded with the supernova branding. Try the flatpak version.
Protonmail web client and Android app tbh
For work it's obviously outlook
Thunderbird is fine.
Maybe I have too much grey in my beard - I don't care how modern it looks.
mutt, because it looks like it's from the last 20 years. Of the 20th century.
Thunderbird, much like Firefox, is the best because it's the least bad.
If anyone knows a client that can snooze mail on Proton and Gmail, I’d love to know about it. Until then I’m stuck using the web interfaces and their official phone apps.
I'm curious, how does snoozing help? First I've heard of the concept so I'm wondering if I'm missing out.
I found this addon for Thunderbird. Not sure if it's the kind of thing that will help.
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.
gnus on emacs
Thunderbird. Being on Plasma, I would use Kontact / KMail but it randomly refuses to send emails for me.
Evolution, Thunderbird and KMail, depending on the system. Though I've had only trouble with Thunderbird and gpg signing with a yubikey. The others just work.
On Android I'm using FairMail.
On Android K-9 mail is now under the Thunderbird umbrella
Web browser
Despite all the other answers, I suspect Web Browser is the most popular. As web apps for email got better, development of desktop clients stalled.
Fast search through a lot mail takes some considerable resources to build, store and search an index, and web-based systems do that really well.
I’ve used about all of them over the years: Pine, Mutt, Thunderbird, Evolution, K-Mail and some others.
I eventually threw in the towel and use web UIs now. Fast, available everywhere and good keyboard support, especially when paired with a browser extension like Vimium.
Web UIs rarely support everything one needs; usually they support their own system and maybe a little bit of bonus.
Outlook web for hosted Exchange won’t even do multiple mailboxes in a unified Inbox, even on the same account!
Right. I’m glad there are options. Despite their flaws, web UIs for email are massively popular.
K-9 on Android and Evolution on Ubuntu (Thunderbird is installed, too).
Thunderbird with the conversations add-on. It's a game-changer that makes it much easier to transition from Gmail.
SeaMonkey.
Not well maintained
i still have to use windows occasionally, and just run thunderbird on that. When on linux i use aerc because i way prefer terminal applications in general, but also i am lazy and the setup took about three seconds vs. mutt which requires a bit more work.
I'm lazy - just gmail pinned in a tab on my browser on my Linux desktop, the browser is always open anyway. Default mail client on iOS/iPadOS.
I've used Thunderbird in the past. The redesign was nice but it's still a bit cludgy to use somehow, compared to gmail web.
Mutt.
