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 :)

K9 Mail on my phone, neomutt on the desktop.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Outlook drains my phone battery so fast I cannot use it. Stick to FairEmail now.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Wow - I had Aquamail from 2015 and loved that app; so sad to see another company go for the shitification of their product.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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 🙄

gmail emails

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Been using K-9 Mail because they support OpenPGP. Also, their user interface is miles better than FairEmail's.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

i'm just using tutanota since they don't work with 3rd party clients

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Gmail. Never put much thought about it tbh

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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.

Web based only here. I have multiple address though so the "client" varies. Outlook, gmail, Proton.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Literally just started using k9 mail on my phone and it is amazing. It just does all of the setup for you.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_ 2 points 2 years ago

Web portals. I use web portals.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Protonmail is the way

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I've probably tried every client out there and repeatedly keep exploring, but I always end back on Newton

[–] Stargazer8224 2 points 2 years ago

Big fan of outlook tbh, it works well and both on iPad and android

[–] Srootus 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Gmail on mobile.

Thunderbird on the desktop. I keep TB running all the time to do filtering. Google filtering is lacking.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I haven't figured out a reason to use a separate email client up to this point. I just use the webapps for Gmail and Fastmail.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Although my main one is gmail, I have been using proton mail for a while and I'm getting to point where I trust it for most stuff and I will start to move non-critical stuff away from gmail.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'm in the same boat, I'm very impressed with proton mail, their UI is very good.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Every time I try a different email client (on the desktop) I always go back to Thunderbird within a few days. Within the last few months I've grown to love a T-bird fork called "Betterbird" which seems a lot snappier and more responsive than the "official" bird.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Apple Mail on Mac and iPhone, because it’s simple and it works well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I manage my e-mails with Blackberry Hub. (On a Fold 4).

It's not amazing, but works well enough.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

KMail for Linux (KDE) and K-9 for Android. I used to use Thunderbird, but hit a couple of bugs that just wouldn't go away. Absolutely love KMail.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

On desktop I stick to the wonderful (for Gnome users, at least) @Geary.

On Android K-9 is fantastic, but regrettably I'm currently using the stock Gmail app because I had trouble setting up my Office365 work email. :(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Used Eudora long ago. As its support dropped and Qualcomm's development of Thunderbird took off, somewhere during that I embraced the spiritual companion of Firefox. I have to use Outlook at work, that helps me not consider changing at home. Also jumped on the Gmail bandwagon back when you had to get an invite to participate. It was just a side email at the time with storage built in, but when my original ISP provider finally threatened to charge me for having an email account, I moved everything over and linked Thunderbird up to pull from Gmail.

I use Em Client on desktop and I love it, on android the Em Client app is still in beta and quite unstable so for now I'm using outlook. Looking at the comments I should give K9 a go.

Edit: Switched to FairEmail for Android

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

I am with Google Workspace, so most of the time I would use the website, but if I had to use something, it would be Thunderbird on Desktop and Spark on Mobile.
