I have been using Outlook for the longest time and have tried FairEmail a couple of times and simply deleted it. Tried sticking through it for about a month and I'll be sticking with it for a good long time now :)

I quite like using K-9 Mail, it merged with Thunderbird and great things are coming for it, I think it's awesome

[–] highfiveconnoisseur@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Another vote for K9 mail. One of the few android email clients that allows pgp keys.

[–] AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

first time I hear about K-9, glad I read this!

Gmail because I'm super boring and it works.

Except that now I have to use Outlook too cause Uni moved from Google to Outlook blobcat, cry

[–] OneDimensionPrinter@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I REALLY liked the Inbox app they made for gmail. Sadly, like all the best things google makes, it went the way of the dinosaurs.

I'm still sour about Inbox being end of life'd :(

[–] protosevn@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I want Inbox back :(

[–] Sendbeer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't worry, they are going to integrate all the features from inbox into Gmail. Any day now.

You can add an outlook account to the gmail app. You may have to add it as Microsoft exchange instead of a regular Outlook account though, but the process is the same.

K9 mail on Android since many years and Thunderbird on laptop, also since many years. Also use Gmail, Yahoo Mail.

[–] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 21 points 1 year ago

Please don't hate me, but I use the Gmail app on Android since it works well enough.

On my desktop though I use Thunderbird, and have for about as long as I can remember.

[–] roguemetahuman@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thunderbird is the best. Been using it since many years and had no major issues.

[–] Hizeh@hizeh.com 4 points 1 year ago

+1 vote for Thunderbird

I use ProtonMail. Additionally, i have set up e-mail aliases with my domain - i get e-mail addresses like kbin@mydomain.com, or personal@mydomain.com. Its quite useful when i suddenly get sent a bunch of random spam e-mail.

I can then just block that e-mail from receving e-mail, its quite handy.

Nine, best for a full Outlook experience and a calendar color picker

[–] ffolkes@fanexus.com 3 points 1 year ago

Hello, fellow Nine user! Glad to see at least some other people are aware of it.

I like FairEmail on Android and don't see myself switching to something else anytime soon. For the desktop I use Thunderbird

[–] hitagi@ani.social 9 points 1 year ago

K9 Mail is my favorite one so far. I've tried FairEmail but the UI was confusing.

[–] FinalFallacy@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, thunderbird has been around forever and it's never done me dirty.

[–] chaogomu@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Same here, It's the second thing I install on a new computer, the first being Firefox.

Every morning when I turn on the computer, I start Firefox and Thunderbird, and then leave Thunderbird in the background, quietly doing its job.

[–] wolfcatreader@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

ProtonMail, Simple Login, and FairEmail.

[–] StayFrosty@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I use k9 mail for my personal mail.

[–] nakal@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I use FairEmail, too. I didn't like GMail and K9.

Thunderbird with Lightning to reproduce all the outlook functionality

[–] madcat1990@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On Android I use FairEmail. I prefer it for it being FOSS.

[–] murderpixel@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I second this. This is one of the few apps I actually paid for.

[–] roses@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Edison. I use it on my Pixel, iPhone, and iPad. It has some more advanced features I don't use, it just has a simple, straightforward UI on iOS and Android and doesn't hassle me too much about upgrading to paid features.

[–] stux@geddit.social 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

ProtonMail :) (Edit: Oh i see client! (no matter as long as it works with ProtonBridge, or just web UI)

[–] pqjke@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

K-9 on Android, Thunderbird on desktop. I love both of them, but K-9 has some weird problem that background sync appear to be not working.

[–] TanknSpank@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Gmail on mobile, Gmail website on desktop

[–] D4gma@feddit.it 4 points 1 year ago

Outlook drains my phone battery so fast I cannot use it. Stick to FairEmail now.

[–] rknize@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Thunderbird on the desktop, Aquamail on Android, RoundCube/SquirrelMail via the web in a pinch. Back in the day I also used Evolution on Linux (when T-bird was buggy and lacking some features). Despite having many email buckets in the cloud, I keep no mail in any of them. I've self-hosted since '99, so I've been able to do whatever.

I did use Outlook back in sepia times (pre-'98) and used Pegasus and/or Pine before that. :p

[–] Lateralking@vlemmy.net 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Outlook. It's solid on android and windows

I started using Spark late last year. It's simplified my mail handling quite a bit. There's also a desktop client for Windows, Dunno about OSX and IOS.

Desktop = Thunderbird

Android= AquaMail

[–] pipe01@lemmy.pipe01.net 4 points 1 year ago

Thunderbird!

[–] ouzkse@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Used Gmail for a long time, 2 weeks ago switched to Outlook and simply amazed. It's easy to use, doesn't show you any ads unlike Gmail. And keep tracking the mails is much more enjoyable compared to Gmail. I believe it can do more of that if rules can be applied to Google mail accounts.

[–] Someguy89@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I used outlook for years. Then they threw ads in between emails... I instantly deleted outlook and haven't looked back. The last place I want to see ads is my fucking email 🙄

I ❤️ FairMail. It is so customizable and versatile, I even bought the pro version for support.

[–] Someology@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I used AquaMail for years, but they just decided that this fall they will go subscription, and old paid users who bought the app will not get all features. So, I've transitioned to the paid (one time purchase) version of Nine email app(by 9folders). It is equally capable, working with my free accounts and my O365 corporate account (including synching calendar). I looked at several open source options, and none were competent to deal with my Work O365 stuff.
