What’s everyone’s preferred email client these days?
On my *nix machine I’m currently using NeoMutt & Aerc as MUA with different MTA/MRA. It suit my use case for reading lots of mailing list. Meanwhile on Android, currently using FairEmail. I was using K-9 Mail previously for over a decade.
Evolution, I wish I could use Thunderbird, but that crashes when signing mails with my Yubikey.
- GUI: Thunderbird
- Terminal: neomutt
- Android: K-9 (soon to be Thunderbird)
Fairemail
I only use K9 on Android. Everything else, web-based.
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.

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 had the same experience.
Agreed
Thunderbird
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
I use Thunderbird. I’m sure there might be other ones that are better, but it does the job.
I’m boring and just use Thunderbird nowadays, but sometimes I yearn for those simpler days when I daily drove aerc.
Thunderbird is the best IMO. Mailspring is also pretty good.
Mutt.
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.
The web browser.
I personally use Claws Mail.
kmail…
it integrates well with, you know…
kde…I tried KMail and Organizer for a few weeks, but they kept losing connection with Gmail. My calendar would get out of sync, and they only way to fix it was to reset the connection and redo all the appointments.
I’m sure it was user error, since I couldn’t figure it out after spending a couple hours on it, so I just dropped back to webmail and not leaving the mail tab open all day.
I tried using KOrganize which had KMail and some other stuff integrated together and ended up feeling like it was a gigantic, archaic codebase just hanging on by a thread. It struggled a lot with Gmail and several times I deleted my whole mail profile to try to fix some strange bug.
If I recall, what did me in was that it would stop sending emails after running for a while. The fix had something to do with restarting Akonadi. It was really disappointing, because I love a good UI/Plasma integration.
I use Thunderbird now and … eh. It’s ok.
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.
