I recommend emclient and nine on Android. The former has some issues with exchange that davmail & evolution seem to get around so don't use it for the purpose anymore but it an overall good email and calendar suite.

#12My 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, in one sitting, my mind feels liberated. I can't recommend this setup enough.

#13Protonmail in the last two months have really stepped up in fixing bugs, completing half baked features and polishing the UI(especially on the phone). Now is the best time to try protonmail.
I love Proton. I use everything, Mail with 5 custom domains attached, VPN, the new Files component is turning out fantastic too, and the mobile apps are rock stable
I believe they’re on a fantastic path these days and as soon as the Drive/Files feature is out of beta and gets its own companion app they‘re going to start becoming a serious and most definitely superior competitor to Google etc

#14I am really enjoying Canary mail, on macOS/iOS. It's an indie app, but feels super platform native (near Apple experiences), while boasting some nice features like email templates and actually good integrated PGP support (complete with a ProtonMail-style send-secure-emails-as-webpages-to-non-users feature).

#18My favorite email client is gmail's webmail. In terms of UX it's horrible, but importantly I don't want my email stored in my computer. I trust google to be safer than my computer. Am I alone on this?
Fastmail is recommended so often on HN it's starting to feel like a bit of a meme, but if you want a solid, reliable cloud email provider with a better and faster UI than Gmail, check it out. If it's helpful, I wrote a small guide on switching off of Gmail here: https://www.justus.ws/tech/how-to-ditch-gmail/ Edit: And as an aside, my guess would be that very few people are storing their email solely on their computer…
Agreed. Gmail is a rampant lagfest whenever I end up using it (I only go to update filters and labels anymore). The HTML site is a lot more responsive and usable IME (though the filter form's length limits need edited in a debugger to fit my queries). With the "plain" HTML frontend filter updates are fast because it's all done directly to the database. With the "fancy" frontend, it seems to be client-side driven and take minutes to "apply and update" any changes.
