Evolution is a good mail client in general.
PS: Prefer always text-mail. When sending. When receiving.
If 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.
PS: I'm thankful that they don't use that thing from Google.
Evolution 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. I…
Thunderbird has reportedly added experimental Exchange support in 140. Though I haven't figured out how to enable and test it :)
You would have to manually add the account. Currently only mail is supported. No calendar support.

I wasn't aware of Balsa or Geary, but it's interesting to note that the author has mentioned that they are affected by GNOME's culture. I also have found the GNOME devs to have issues with admitting any fault at all, security or otherwise, but I wasn't aware of them being linked to any email clients other than Evolution - which I have been using. What's a good app for Exchange on Linux? I could use the web app, which…

Probably Thunderbird tries it again with 141.

You forgot to say anything about the fact that they've been sitting on a privacy bug for 15 months and have done nothing to address it. You forgot to say anything about the multiple things that the bug report says they can do, to warn their users and patch over the problem on their side. You forgot to say anything about how those suggestions were met with arrogant clown and face-palm emojis. You prefer to concentrate…

PS: If your E-Mails are stored on an Exchange-Server (or: worse Azure) the discussed problem is the least issue.

Evidently you did not read the linked issue very carefully as: 1. The issue still persists in the most recent upstream code of Evolution, having nothing to do with Debian or any other distribution 2. No patch is available to correct the security issue, and despite the puck passing it is not actually the responsibility of distro packagers to fix your own security bugs.
Even if it is unpatched upstream, it's perfectly fine to push the fix to master branch only and let distros backport. That's also why the bugs should be filed downstream, and distro maintainers will forward the bug upstream but only if not already fixed (so upstream won't get N duplicate bugs, where N is the number of packages).
At in any case, distro maintainers tend to behave better in upstream bugtrackers.
