I still use the web interface for each email provider like gmail, outlook, etc
How about isync + notmuch + afew + alot + msmtp? gpg decryption not directly supported but using alot’s pipeto it can be used to decrypt messages. As using notmuch as indexer it’s flow is pretty similar/compatible to/with gmail.
Do you really use all of those? I don’t see the point in using so many tools when there are many standalone programs that can accomplish the same task.
It depends on your preferences of course. Notmuch offers a way fast indexer you can’t get with traditional gui applications, but by itself it’s not pretty useful, however the integration with other tools makes it really powerful, with afew you get your personal tagging when messages arrive (filters), with alot you just get the email frontend. If you like the terminal experience, then you’d know you need something extra for smtp (writing emails) and there you have for example msmtp. It’s a matter of choice. I mentioned notmuch since the traditional approach to the terminal is plain neomutt, but there are alternatives. isync (mbsync) actually interacts well with neomutt but it also does it with notmuch, and neomutt can be used as a frontend for notmuch as well. A matter of choices.
The thing with solutions like thunderbird is that you have to adhere to their design decisions. For example I don’t like their librnp implementation, and I had to create alpm hooks on artix to keep updating such library with sequoia-octopus-librnp, not because I like rust (I don’t dislike it either), but because at least I can keep just one keyring, and thunderbird when not having a master password (the default) keeps its keyring unencrypted, and I pretty much see no reason not to use gnupg. So I decided I better kept using gnupg’s keyring and stuff. Integrating different tools designed for specific purposes you have more freedom of choice. At any rate that’s how unix was conceived, and you can choose to do it that way if you want.

Thunderbird - on my PC and Mobile… Always worked flawlessly - both with my different mail-services and my own domain name mail server…
Thunderbird. I even use Thunderbird as my RSS reader too.
Off-topic: For RSS feed, you might want to have a look at Miniflux[1] if your also into self-hosting.

Sometimes you just cant beat the classics.
Especially when the classic Thunderbird was just overhauled with modern UI
Oh, I didn’t know they did an overhaul, I’ll check it out!!
(Which you can disable, luckily. I still use the classic layout with the table of emails on top and the selected email below)
I tried using Gmail through Thunderbird, but the problem is that the filtering is web UI only
I use AERC. TUI that is just so painfully easy to use. integrates with whatever editor you use like vim or emacs or whatever. Account setup is a breeze via a config file thus making it easy to backup. I have it in my nix config so whenever I take my nixos anywhere or reinstall it I instantly have my email ready to go.

At this point I’m thinking of creating my own client haha.
I believe MailSpring is really powerful. But some advanced features are behind a pro account. MailSpring itself is open source.

Does it work for gmail, yahoo, etc ?
stop using those oppressive email providers already??
idk if those billionare monopolies let you use IMAP & POP
try anything else- like StartMail, from dutch GDPR championing StartPage organization
what is this, is it anything like Delta Chat? (i.e. the UI of a chat app but using email for sending/receiving messages)
I’ve been trying out Delta Chat for messaging my family. It’s a bit kludgy and messy though, at least when interacting with others who are using regular email clients. For instance, it sometimes sends multiple emails rather than bundling it up as one.
fork in close relation with DeltaChat!
cleans up some cludge for some smoothness instead :3
maybe those issues you’re having will go away after some bug reporting? /genuine encouragement, neutral tone
Betterbird
aercÞis is þe way.
I use msync and notmuch, to provide Google-like tagging and searching, and to keep a local email cache so it’s faster, but aerc supports boþ notmuch and IMAP, so you get boþ.
I’m almost disappointed to learn you don’t use Þunderbird.
On Android, I do.
I really respect your comittment to using þorns here, even though it means people probably down vote you because they don’t know what’s going on.
Just wanted to let you know. Keep it up :)
Cheers!
The people downvoting absolutely know what’s going on.
Good ol Thunderbird
