What’s everyone’s preferred email client these days?
- GUI: Thunderbird
- Terminal: neomutt
- Android: K-9 (soon to be Thunderbird)
Fairemail
Using Evolution for desktop but about to give Thunderbird another shot I think.
Evolution here. I will likely never go back to Thunderbird.
Same - Evolution offers one thing Firebird dosen’t - connecting to the work cloud Microsoft account!
If only they’d change the dumb way date time entry works for the calendar it would be near perfect.
Try gnome-calender as a evolution-data-server frontend.
I only use K9 on Android. Everything else, web-based.
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
Agreed
I had the same experience.
i’ve always used thunderbird and never had any reason to try anything else.
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.
Does Thunderbird have unified inbox? And how well does it deal with Exchange? Just do imap mode?
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.
Yes to unified inbox, not sure about exchange but works well with IMAP
Thunderbird
I use Thunderbird. I’m sure there might be other ones that are better, but it does the job.
The web browser.
Do you have Mozilla Suite? /s
Which web client do you prefer?
Firefox of course :) It’s the last one that has no compromises. As an example, Brave offers similar adblock and privacy features, but at the cost of having to put up with Web3 stuff. wbu?

Yeah every once in a while I get restless and start thinking I should learn how to use Mutt or something, but I always end up going back to Thunderbird/Betterbird lol
FairEmail
Mutt.
They all fucking suck
I prefer Claws Mail. It does what I need it to.
The interface is a bit bare bones and 90’s but I like it that way. It’s a good and reliable client.
Thunderbird is the best IMO. Mailspring is also pretty good.
Great, a subscription based mail program. Because that’s clearly what people want and need, paying rent for the software on their machines.
Nothing about the program itself is subscription based. All of the normal features of an email client (that you would also find in Thunderbird) are available for free. You only need to pay if you want to use their services like Send later, read receipts or link tracking, because these requires backend servers and actually costs the money.
Evolution currently. Previously Thunderbird. I wouldn’t mind a newer client but I am only interested in native apps talking to my email server over open standards.
mail(1)ornedmail(1)is all I really need.I prefer
mutt/neomutt, but Thunderbird comes by default in basically every desktop-oriented distro I regularly interact with, so I end up using that most often on *nix. K-9 if I want it on my phone.My true love is the combination of
acme(1)andfaces(1), but that doesn’t do encryption/PGP stuff.Sylpheed is the best. I thought everyone knew this.
That’s a name I haven’t seen in a while.
