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!
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
K9 Mail is my favorite one so far. I've tried FairEmail but the UI was confusing.
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
I used them for a long time, had some stuff in proton for a couple years and dropped them for the proton app which sucks.
On fastmail now and I see that k9 has or is getting jmap support. Pretty excited about that. Excited to to try it again.
ProtonMail, Simple Login, and FairEmail.
Thunderbird with Lightning to reproduce all the outlook functionality
I use Thunderbird, but I absolutely despise the tabbed interface for everything. It used to be optional; then you could restore the old interface with an extension; now even that has been removed. I should just uninstall it at this point and find something different, especially given that my filters and rules are handled at the server level now.
I use alpine on smaller email accounts.
In the past, I liked Eudora the best.
ProtonMail :) (Edit: Oh i see client! (no matter as long as it works with ProtonBridge, or just web UI)
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.
Gmail on mobile, Gmail website on desktop
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.
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.
Thunderbird!
Outlook drains my phone battery so fast I cannot use it. Stick to FairEmail now.
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
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.
K9 Mail on my phone, neomutt on the desktop.
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
Desktop = Thunderbird
Android= AquaMail
Either k9 or the native email client (Samsung Email, LG Email, ...) when they have a good Systemwide integration.
neomut, because I have linux brain damage
Patiently waiting for Thunderbird on mobile with k-9 so Gmail it is atm
I used outlook for years. Then they threw ads in between emails... I instantly deleted outlook and haven't looked back. The last place I want to see ads is my fucking email 🙄
What do you use then? It seems like all of the major providers have ads
I ❤️ FairMail. It is so customizable and versatile, I even bought the pro version for support.
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.
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.
I used Aqua Mail Pro for years and it's fantastic. They're switching to a subscription model for $30/yr so I switched to Samsung email.
Wow - I had Aquamail from 2015 and loved that app; so sad to see another company go for the shitification of their product.
Fellow AquaMail refugee here. My work actually blocks Samsung Mail, but the paid version of Nine works great, and on the same phone, has a noticeably faster UI when compared to AquaMail.
Protonmail connected to my domain
Thunderbird has worked well for me
I've probably tried every client out there and repeatedly keep exploring, but I always end back on Newton
Just remember what the Magic 8-ball says when you drink the water inside it… "Outlook is not good!"
Really, though, I know the 'me' of about 20 years ago would be shocked to hear this, but the whole Microsoft suite with Outlook is pretty comfortable to run and use. I use it when hosting websites for my business, and it's always worked how I needed it.
Beyond that, I used Thunderbird for years and that's my go-to client when I want to go free. It's easy to set up and people usually love using a Mozilla product.
gmail emails
It's paid (one off $15 I think), but has a two week trial but I've been using Nine for a few years now, pretty happy with it.
I use Tutanota's clients, and enjoy it. Haven't had any issues, was a great replacement to the unencrypted privacy-invasive Gmail and Google Calendar, sorting to folders has been even more convenient
Been using K-9 Mail because they support OpenPGP. Also, their user interface is miles better than FairEmail's.
i'm just using tutanota since they don't work with 3rd party clients
