#32Just switched my gmail accounts to Gnome's Geary app. Enjoying the simple, snappy UI so far

#33My email productivity went through the roof when I switched to mu4e (Emacs interface to mu). I can in a few keystroke isolate the handful of emails that actually need my attention in the hundreds I receive every couple of days. Org mode integration allow me to reference those that I may need in the future, or that require later action in my to-do list. My time handling email is now reduced to 20min-2h every two days,…
How well does this setup cope with HTML mail?
Emacs can reasonably well display html, but when it fails I can open the email in a web browser in two keystrokes.

Being able to capture an email in mu4e into an org-mode entry really helps me keep track of what I'm supposed to be doing.

Is this really aimed at providing an individual email client? I've used it in the past to send out bulk emails similar to Constant Contact (for example), and from their web site it appears their focus is still primarily on managing customer emails for business.

#37Thunderbird on Linux, K-9 Mail on Android.
My $WORKPLACE is using Outlook, so I use Thunderbird for Mail there too and always have a browser tab open with the OWA calendar [1]. Not the most elegant solution, but it's working fine for me.
[1] Tried several addons for Thunderbird with Outlook integration, decided I don't like any of them.

#38On Linux I used Astroid for offline mail access (notmuch + lieer for gmail and mbsync, I think, for other mailboxes - it worked so good that I don’t remember exactly). For me it is the best offline email setup.
On macOS, unfortunately, I haven’t found anything better than Apple Mail, considering the integration with OS. There are downsides, though. Offline format is incompatible with everything else, it’s hard to do rsync backups of ~/Library/Mail, and I don’t think all mail is accessible offline. It is slow, and it mangled non-latin attachment names for Gmail letters. On positive side, there is a great support for drag&drop, Spotlight integration, multiple account handling.

#39Thunderbird https://www.thunderbird.net
It is usable for me only with expression search NG (https://github.com/opto/expression-search-NG). TB is my daily driver but with every update I fear that they will destroy sth again: expression search failed to work for over a year due to their breaking changes. Switched to another extension until that one stopped working. Now back on expression search as opto has ported it.

#40For Gmail on Mac, I think Mimestream is the best. It’s basically Apple Mail but tailored to the Gmail API.
