I use Geary. It looks good, fits in well with Gnome, and the interface is simple and intuitive. I don't really need advanced features, and I prefer to use stand-alone calendars apps, so the lack of a built-in calendar is something I like.

I've tried to switch to Thunderbird and Geary, but I always return to Evolution. I just like it so much. I don't find it ugly and I don't try to measure it up with some pre-made notions of what is a beautiful program these days. For me it works beautifully and it organizes and labels my emails beautifully with nice labeling options.

Thank you for making these videos <3

I would much rather have MY email on my computer, not just out there somewhere. I miss the days of Eudora.

Thunderbird user here and it works very well for me. I have BlueMail installed on Linux but I don't use it. I also have BlueMail installed on Android and I installed it mostly so I could assist friends who I recommended BlueMail to. :) I use Outlook for work and despise it. Two things I like and use a LOT in Thunderbird are: 1) message filters (I have HUNDREDS defined); 2) Junk filtering (which is quite effective, but not perfect, once trained).

I mostly receive mails from eBay, Amazon, message boards and rarely friends.
So technically I could indeed use my provider's webmail UI which is slick and easy to use as well but I don't want to.
I actually prefer having a dedicated program for mails on my machines so I use K-Mail on Linux and FairEMail on Android.

I gave up on mail apps, cause i need exchange with calendar support. Means i would have to use evolution and that's ugly as well

Windows Mail has combined Inbox. Outlook doesn't and keeps trying to replace Windows Mail which deprives me of that functionality. So, which of all these has combined inbox?

[CesarPeron]

I don't like to rely on any local program, it is more efficient to configure than a single online mail to check other servers (POP3/SMTP) and with rules and tags to have everything organized. That gives freedom to have all my accounts and emails from anywhere, without the need for extra settings when switching devices or doing a system reinstallation.

I kinda have love-hate relationship with Outlook. The UI is great but not for UX, e.g. old Outlook can set where you want to save offline copy during wizard setup. Outlook 2016 onward only asks e-mail and password. Easy for normal user but bit tedious for advanced users. Backup and restore also a problem for Outlook. Not to mention corrupt for no reason.

Have to use Thunderbird and it's great so far although requires 3rd party for Exchange.

Fun fact: there is something wrong with the flatpak version of bluemail. If you use the snap version gmail will work on it.

[johnlackner]

How well does Thunderbird work on Android phones and tablets? if it doesn't work well, which ones do?

[SirRFI]

Which of these clients have security features, like not loading external resources in mails? I think Thunderbird does

[thomas]

Good info and lots of it, but tone down the chatter. You were 3 minutes into the video before the first mention of an app. Cheers!

[zrden_]

Posteo is the best choice for email yeah its not free but its the best so it worths

[TormentedHealer]

Sylpheed. But not suitable for people born after 1978.

[quitlife]

Wtf has happened to the free windows mail app, it's been replaced by this "new outlook" that is utterly unusable torture.

[ALAK]

linux user look about email apps and windows user need upgrade gpu for gaming 😂

[tato-chip]

i kind of feel Kmail has been abandoned and its a shame.

[MrSzaqul]

I have question. If you support open source apps, like thunderbird, did you ever click a donate button and donate for them some money? If no, it that mean you just use open source because is free and you don't want to pay for them. And this is not support for open source developer. This is my opinion.
