I just can’t find a decent email client that looks like it’s from the last 20 years. Geary and Evolution both appear to be pretty modern but something about using Gmail with a Yubikey just doesn’t work and neither of them will connect to my account. Both on Fedora and OpenSUSE. Thunderbird works but it’s so old fashioned and Betterbird doesn’t look much better. What’s everyone else using?

    Thunderbird with the Proton Mail Bridge on desktop, Proton Mail client on mobile although I’d prefer to have all my mails on K9 since I have multiple mail accounts and haven’t fully migrated from gmail.

        You are mistaking KMail (desktop client by KDE) and K-9 Mail (Android client that is being rebranded into Thunderbird for Android).

      Do you use it for work or personal? I have aerc installed and working for my personal email, but I found it harder to sort through HTML emails as quickly as something like Gmail. I gave up on it after a couple days, but really liked the keyboard-centric workflow.

        I don’t work but I use a script using w3m to print HTML as text. You can find those in the aerc repo.

    Thunderbird. It’s great

    I am not sure how to make it look shitty like Gmail, maybe you could theme it to wast a ton of space.

    Seriously, do you want a useful email client or not?

    Thunderbird. Hate the redesign. If it ain’t broke dont fix it.

    K9 for phone

    I still have pgp signs, but no one has used it to encrypt back to me in years. Don’t know why I keep those on there and active

      Me too. I mean if I got an email with someone’s public key attached I’d send an encrypted reply. One day the person you’re emailing will eventually do the same lol. (I mean I do get people sending me encrypted emails sometimes, but most of the time it’s “wtf is this .asc file you’ve attached to this email”)

      The redesign is actually what convinced me to switch to Thunderbird. Otherwise I would’ve never used it since for me it was an eyesore!

    Evolution. It works with MS Exchange.

    I have an elderly and rather unloved Gmail account for testing and spam reception only and a couple of Yubi keys so I’ll see what I can do with them. I probably ought to use the Gmail account more but I’m concerned that Google will kill it off 8) I got it when the G stood for gigabyte because everyone else set quotas in the 10s or low 100s of megabytes. “Do no evil” Google were as cool as fuck but that was a long time ago. Sad really.

      I set up Evolution for my work office365 account. It worked exactly for 2 days. Now, it constantly keeps asking for password again and again and nothing shows up. I’m trying out Thunderbird with Owl plugin (trial) and that works flawlessly. Any tips on getting it to work on Evolution?

        I’m not all in on MS online yet so I can’t help you. We run Exchange on prem. I am the MD of my company and have views about the way forwards (and it won’t involve MS)

          The owl plugin for Thunderbird is very good. I have bought a paid subscription to that. Everything works fine with Thunderbird now.
