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 :)

Patiently waiting for Thunderbird on mobile with k-9 so Gmail it is atm

[–] D4gma@feddit.it 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] BozeKnoflook@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

K9 Mail on my phone, neomutt on the desktop.

[–] aluminium@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Either k9 or the native email client (Samsung Email, LG Email, ...) when they have a good Systemwide integration.

[–] styx@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I ❤️ FairMail. It is so customizable and versatile, I even bought the pro version for support.

[–] Lateralking@vlemmy.net 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Outlook. It's solid on android and windows

For Gmail users on Mac desktop, I really can’t recommend Minestream enough, if a paid app isn’t a dealbreaker. It’s designed by ex-Applers and implements gmail’s API completely— even to the point of the signature editor and vacation auto responder and having a mode that only shows unread messages and starred messages in your inbox (which is kind of a badass way to stay on top of busy mailboxes).

[–] Stargazer8224@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Stroopwafel1@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Protonmail is the way

[–] dutchkimble@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Srootus@sh.itjust.works 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.

[–] wgs@lemmy.sdf.org 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.

[–] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

[–] entropicshart@lemmy.world 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.

[–] Someology@lemmy.world 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.

[–] LeHappStick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

gmail emails

[–] deanne@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] somedaysoon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

On Mobile: K-9

On Desktop: Claws Mail

Gmail. Never put much thought about it tbh

[–] kampang@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Technofrood@kbin.social 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.

[–] luna@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] RanchOnPancakes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Someology@lemmy.world 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.

[–] ffolkes@fanexus.com 2 points 2 years ago

I have been using Nine for literally over a decade. Amazing app, very well supported.

[–] TheThinker@lemm.ee 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_@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Web portals. I use web portals.

[–] kuneho@lemmy.world 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.

[–] RossoErcole@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Protonmail + Duckduckgo's email service, which links to a preexistent email (proton in my case) and allows you to clear trackers from emails and to use randomly generated email adresses.

Edit: only now realized that you asked for client, welp, I use proton's client, but I've been considering using thunderbird lately

[–] Kirb00@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I've been using Spark and remained using it especially now that they have a desktop client it's just so clean.

[–] Crakila@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] gaudon@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Since google threatened to end legacy gsuite accounts I ended up migrating my email to another service (Namecheap).

Because of that I also had to use different email clients.

Desktop - emClient (prefer this to Thunderbird)

Android - Spark

Both work pretty well for me so far.

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Tutanota for email + calendar. It's entirely foss, can be downloading from fdroid, doesn't require Google play services, and is fully e2ee so nobody can access your data except you.

[–] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.world 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.

[–] JeanMiaouss@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Nerdfest@kbin.social 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.

[–] geekworking@lemmy.world 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.
