I use Thunderbird on desktop and K9 on mobile.

I can't say I love either but I've tried a bunch of options and they were the best for me. Plus development has picked up on both recently so I hope they get polished up.

IIRC, the primary (and maybe only?) dev for k-9 mail on Android was hired by the Thunderbird team, and eventually, k-9 will get rebranded as a mobile version of Thunderbird (presumably with eventual setting sync capabilities and feature parity and such).

[-] kevincox@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Yes, that is a large part of what I meant by "development has picked up". IIUC there are now multiple full-time devs on K9 (which I guess will be called Thunderbird Mobile or something eventually)

This one :)

Generally I use Thunderbird since it's cross platform and consistent, though recently I've been trying out Geary and it's not bad, but definitely is a bit too basic for me. For example, it's not super obvious how to mark all messages in a folder as read - and when doing so in another client, I was stuck with an inconsistent unread counter.

So I'll probably just end up on good ole Thunderbird again.

On Android I just use the Gmail app, but I'll be looking to see how the new Thunderbird/K-9 update goes.

Thunderbird on PC and K-9 Mail on Android

[-] aspensmonster@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Thunderbird on the desktop. k-9 mail on mobile.

Fairmail on android, Thunderbird on desktop

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Same. Fairemail is great.

[-] lionel@lemmy.coupou.fr 1 points 2 years ago

Same here, sometimes SOGo in the browser also

[-] Adda@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Same here. I am eager to test the new Thunderbird/K-9 update, but I believe I will stick with Thunderbird and FairEmail. Just because they are both exactly what I need.

K-9 mail and emacs mu4e

[-] picoblaanket@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Tutanota. It's free and encrypted.

And I just use a text document to compose the email.

@nour I use Gnome's Evolution. It was installed by default and its never given me any problems so I haven't had a reason to switch to anything else.

Thunderbird on desktop / laptop. Proton + Gmail app on android

I use Apple mail and thunderbird when on Mac and Linux respectively

[-] christian@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I think claws on linux is fantastic. It's not packed with features, but it has everything I need and is very straightforward to configure and use once you've got your accounts connected. My work uses office365 for our emails which gave me a lot of trouble setting up, but I found a FOSS program called davmail which allows those accounts to be compatible with all email clients.

neomutt + elinks and vim for writing.

aerc on desktop, K-9 Mail on mobile

[-] pingveno@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Normally I just use Gmail's web client, but maybe I should give Thunderbird a go. Last time I tried it, I felt like a second class citizen because everything was working through SMTP and IMAP. Generic protocols inevitably lose some functionality.

[-] pingveno@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Looks like I'm going back to the web client. Thunderbird kept crashing my computer because it wants to download all of my hundreds of thousands of messages.
