I still use the web interface for each email provider like gmail, outlook, etc
Kmail on Android, Evolution on laptop.
Evo is a little clunky looking but it integrates calendar, contacts, and does PGP seamlessly using Gnome’s key manager.
I don’t. That’s the entire point about having different mailboxes in the first place : they stay isolated and I manage notifications (or not) exactly how I want, when I want.
Thunderbird - on my PC and Mobile… Always worked flawlessly - both with my different mail-services and my own domain name mail server…

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.
Cool cuban dev adds features that generally come to delta chat shortly afterward
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
Does it work for gmail, yahoo, etc ?
Easiest way is use Tuta as a backup email for an IMAP-compatible email provider working with Delta. That way you don’t need any real phone #s or emails and nothing links back to one identity
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
I use Mailspring. Thunderbird was crashing a lot for me a few months ago but I had used TB for a long time so I will probably move back to it soon.
I use FairEmail on phone and Sylpheed on desktop.

It is the worst email client besides all the alternatives
I like Betterbird, I find it slightly more less worst.
I use Thunderbird.
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)
Thunderbird since forever. Before that, Seamonkey and the Mozilla suite.
There are some changes I didn’t like over the years like the tabbed interface for everything, but nothing else ever came along that worked as well and was multi-platform.
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.

Good ol Thunderbird
