    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 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.

        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.

    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…

    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.

      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 Mailspring. The only thing missing from Mailspring for me is seeing what folders my emails are in when I run a search. Otherwise, it’s the only non-CLI client I’ve found that let’s me use the keyboard to select multiple emails and move them to a folder, something I do in Gmail.

    If anyone knows of others, let me know! I’ve tried Claws, Evolution, Geary, KMail, and Thunderbird in addition to Mutt and aerc in hopes of finding something to replace Gmail.

    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

    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.

        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.
