I still use the web interface for each email provider like gmail, outlook, etc
Thunderbird
Same
ArcaneChat on mobile
what is this, is it anything like Delta Chat? (i.e. the UI of a chat app but using email for sending/receiving messages)
I’ve been trying out Delta Chat for messaging my family. It’s a bit kludgy and messy though, at least when interacting with others who are using regular email clients. For instance, it sometimes sends multiple emails rather than bundling it up as one.
Does it work for gmail, yahoo, etc ?
stop using those oppressive email providers already??
idk if those billionare monopolies let you use IMAP & POP
try anything else- like StartMail, from dutch GDPR championing StartPage organization
I use FairEmail on phone and Sylpheed on desktop.
fairmail on phone, postbox on pc
Thunderbird.
It is the worst email client besides all the alternatives
I like Betterbird, I find it slightly more less worst.
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.

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)
Betterbird

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 :)
The people downvoting absolutely know what’s going on.
Cheers!
Evolution.
Good ol Thunderbird
seamonkey and thunderbird are both good
