I still use the web interface for each email provider like gmail, outlook, etc
I use FairEmail on phone and Sylpheed on desktop.

Thunderbird.
It is the worst email client besides all the alternatives
I like Betterbird, I find it slightly more less worst.
Thunderbird since forever. Before that, Seamonkey and the Mozilla suite.
There are some changes I didn’t like over the years like the tabbed interface for everything, but nothing else ever came along that worked as well and was multi-platform.
I use Thunderbird.
Sometimes you just cant beat the classics.
Especially when the classic Thunderbird was just overhauled with modern UI
Oh, I didn’t know they did an overhaul, I’ll check it out!!
(Which you can disable, luckily. I still use the classic layout with the table of emails on top and the selected email below)
How about isync + notmuch + afew + alot + msmtp? gpg decryption not directly supported but using alot’s pipeto it can be used to decrypt messages. As using notmuch as indexer it’s flow is pretty similar/compatible to/with gmail.
Do you really use all of those? I don’t see the point in using so many tools when there are many standalone programs that can accomplish the same task.
Betterbird
Evolution.
aercÞis is þe way.
I use msync and notmuch, to provide Google-like tagging and searching, and to keep a local email cache so it’s faster, but aerc supports boþ notmuch and IMAP, so you get boþ.
I’m almost disappointed to learn you don’t use Þunderbird.
On Android, I do.
I really respect your comittment to using þorns here, even though it means people probably down vote you because they don’t know what’s going on.
Just wanted to let you know. Keep it up :)
Cheers!
Good ol Thunderbird
seamonkey and thunderbird are both good

Thunderbird. I even use Thunderbird as my RSS reader too.
Off-topic: For RSS feed, you might want to have a look at Miniflux[1] if your also into self-hosting.
Any halfway decent desktop email client will do the job—people have already listed several. I use claws-mail, but getting it to work with GMail involves the computer equivalent of doing a triple backflip through a hoop, so you may want to go with something more common.
aerc+mbsync+notmuch
If you want a GUI, I was using Evolution before aerc and I was happy with it. I just prefer keyboard navigation which naturally is well supported by any TUI application.
