#2Geary has been crashing with some regularity over the past few weeks anyway. Guess I’ll migrate to Thunderbird.

#3If only he made that much effort to get Chromium to fix the issue. The source of the problem is with a dependency of the email clients, not the email clients themselves.
He is bothering small free software projects so that those small free software projects ask Chromium to fix the issue.

I have that problem. Too bad there is no html client that isn't a massive RAM hog.

#6Evolution is the only client on Linux (that I’m aware of) that fully supports Microsoft exchange and Google out of the box without any plugins. I used thunderbird for a long time, however I got frustrated so many times after things broke after every update because essential plugins stopped working. Yes, you may say Evolution UI is old, but the software is rock solid and softwares in general are more than their GUI. It’s good to bring awareness about the tracking but I’m not so bothered by it, as its hard to find software that doesn’t track you these days

If only the developers of Evolution Mail made any effort to get the issue fixed in the 15 months they've known about it.
It's unacceptable to sit on a privacy affecting bug like this for 15 months.
This continously repeated bullshit that the source of the problem lies elsehwere is tiring. They're knowingly using a library with a security bug, and they're doing:
1. Nothing to get the devs of that library to fix it
2. Nothing to fix the library themselves
3. Nothing to warn their users
4. Nothing in their local application to protect their users.
This is not how secure development works.

The list is brand new. I will be updating it as I have time to test clients.

I noticed that during my testing. Was difficult to keep it running for more than a few seconds at times. Thunderbird is a good choice.

That's a non-sequitur. Just because it's common does not mean it's okay.
