Thunderbird is still the best crossplatform, multi account mail client around. Everybody migrated to webmail, but for those old grumps of us who still have multiple email accounts, and maybe even follow some newsgroups, tb is still the best player in town.

Thanks tb team for your work! I love you all!

A proper mail client also seems essential for taking part in mailing lists. I used to use gnus but got too frustrated at people sending me email in stupid HTML formats that I couldn't read. Thunderbird is the easiest thing to use that behaves like a proper mail client but also deals with the garbage from bad clients like Outhouse etc.

At the moment I am using Wanderlust, to help with the html I have set it up so I can open them in firefox.

I've banished myself to mobile. I am trying out k9-mail and open keychain on Android. They are both available on f-droid and seem to work well. Open keychain is so much easier to deal with than what I remember of enigmail on the desktop.

With the latest job I went from work GMail to company-hosted (and thunderbird) for the first time. I'm pleased to report it is far better than I feared. Thank you, Thunderbird!

I love Thunderbird, I have used it at several previous jobs and I'm finding joy in email clients again as I now actively avoid using the web client for gmail. I have never understood people's gripes with the client, but maybe I'm just not a power user.

Seems like Mozilla could be a trustworthy mail provider as well.

OpenKeychain is currently the best way to manage PGP keys on any platform. I don't know why there's no good UI for the desktop, Enigmail is a distant second.
