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 π
- On my desktop: GNOME Evolution - but only because my university uses Outlook w/ Exchange (cringe) and the UI is slightly more tolerable than Thunderbird.
- On my phone: I just use the baked-in Samsung Mail app.
In terms of provider, I used to use Gmail for my personal, but got tired of Big G scraping my correspondence. I tried Proton, but its integration story is a complete joke (you can upload your calendar and contacts but there's no DAV support, their IMAP bridge is a non-standard-compliant dumpster fire that doesn't work with half the clients I tried...) so I ended up on Fastmail.
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.
Thunderbird has worked well for me
Outlook drains my phone battery so fast I cannot use it. Stick to FairEmail now.
Protonmail connected to my domain
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.
Patiently waiting for Thunderbird on mobile with k-9 so Gmail it is atm
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.
Careful if you're using Outlook on Android. From what I've read, it doesn't actually locally handle non-exchange accounts like IMAP or POP3 (why are you using POP3 though). It's done on Microsoft's servers, so your basically giving Microsoft your e-mails. I'm not sure what kind of access they get to them from the privacy agreement you probably just clicked past.
So Outlook in Android users Microsoft servers to fetch your mail, and the client just shows whatever the server got.
Big fan of outlook tbh, it works well and both on iPad and android
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
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
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.
Web based only here. I have multiple address though so the "client" varies. Outlook, gmail, Proton.
Gmail. Never put much thought about it tbh
i'm just using tutanota since they don't work with 3rd party clients
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.
gmail emails
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.
Protonmail is the way
I've probably tried every client out there and repeatedly keep exploring, but I always end back on Newton
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.
Literally just started using k9 mail on my phone and it is amazing. It just does all of the setup for you.
Twobird
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.
I have recently pivoted to proton..
