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 :)

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

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

on desktop I use eM Client. On Android I was using just plain GMail but I saw people in this comment section using other stuff so I checked it out and swapped to FairEmail.

edit: FairEmail is fantastic and I've upgraded to pro. Definitely recommend this one for mobile users with multiple email accounts.

Used to use Thunderbird but I wanted something that just looked like it was from this century. I like how eM Client works and its features and it looks nice. I don't like that I am limited to 2 email accounts though. I'd love something like it that is FOSS and allows more email addresses.

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.

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.

[–] 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.

[–] KilgoreTheTrout@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I have recently pivoted to proton..

Also using outlook. I can say for certain there are some bugs with IMAP email accounts, but other than that it has been working well for me for years.

The only thing I don't like about it (other than the IMAP bugs) is the notification sounds that are exactly the same as my work mail on PC. I get jittery whenever I hear those sounds.

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.

  • 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 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

[–] Rhaedas@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Used Eudora long ago. As its support dropped and Qualcomm's development of Thunderbird took off, somewhere during that I embraced the spiritual companion of Firefox. I have to use Outlook at work, that helps me not consider changing at home. Also jumped on the Gmail bandwagon back when you had to get an invite to participate. It was just a side email at the time with storage built in, but when my original ISP provider finally threatened to charge me for having an email account, I moved everything over and linked Thunderbird up to pull from Gmail.

I use thunderbird cause I saw the new logo and thought it was cool.

[–] Maheswara@reddthat.com -1 points 2 years ago

Tried Fair mail and k-mail and they are ok... Liked Outlook but came back to Gmail since it can't be removed from the device anyways..

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

Not exactly just a client but a client and a service: HEY from 37signals (formerly Basecamp).

I've been using it for a year and a half and I really love it.
