emacs + mu4e [1]

Since it's within Emacs there's great GPG support, familiar keybindings, and less contextual shift than switching to a browser. It's also fully searchable, usable offline, and non-blocking to other emacs operations.

Thunderbird, version 3, and you'll get me to upgrade when you pry the mouse out of my cold dead fingers.

Thunderbird was the first client I found that let me manage multiple separate accounts through the same interface, receiving and sending mail from each in a logical way. There's probably other ways to do that now, but I'm terrified of upsetting a system that Just Works.™

Apple Mail, because it's nicely integrated, just works and there's a neat GPG plugin. I have no use for webmail interfaces, I'd rather use mutt in a shell than those.

Especially not Gmail, as every time I look at it, some other bullshit feature got added and the UI got more horrible.
