For Gmail users on Mac desktop, I really can’t recommend Minestream enough, if a paid app isn’t a dealbreaker. It’s designed by ex-Applers and implements gmail’s API completely— even to the point of the signature editor and vacation auto responder and having a mode that only shows unread messages and starred messages in your inbox (which is kind of a badass way to stay on top of busy mailboxes).

On Android I use Re:Work, like interface the best. Before that I have used previous app from the same developer (I think it was Nine mail?).
On Windows I really disliked Thunderbird, so currently testing out emClient.
Thunderbird has worked well for me
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 🙄

Protonmail connected to my domain
Either k9 or the native email client (Samsung Email, LG Email, ...) when they have a good Systemwide integration.
- On my desktop: GNOME Evolution - but only because my university uses Outlook w/ Exchange (cringe) and the UI is slightly more tolerable than Thunderbird.
- On my phone: I just use the baked-in Samsung Mail app.
In terms of provider, I used to use Gmail for my personal, but got tired of Big G scraping my correspondence. I tried Proton, but its integration story is a complete joke (you can upload your calendar and contacts but there's no DAV support, their IMAP bridge is a non-standard-compliant dumpster fire that doesn't work with half the clients I tried...) so I ended up on Fastmail.
K9 Mail on my phone, neomutt on the desktop.
Protonmail is the way
It's paid (one off $15 I think), but has a two week trial but I've been using Nine for a few years now, pretty happy with it.
I've migrated from just using a gmail account to using Anonaddy which point towards a Tutanota email. The migration was PAINFUL, but glad I persisted and went through with it.
Literally just started using k9 mail on my phone and it is amazing. It just does all of the setup for you.
gmail emails
Careful if you're using Outlook on Android. From what I've read, it doesn't actually locally handle non-exchange accounts like IMAP or POP3 (why are you using POP3 though). It's done on Microsoft's servers, so your basically giving Microsoft your e-mails. I'm not sure what kind of access they get to them from the privacy agreement you probably just clicked past.
So Outlook in Android users Microsoft servers to fetch your mail, and the client just shows whatever the server got.
Been using K-9 Mail because they support OpenPGP. Also, their user interface is miles better than FairEmail's.
Been using mutt for years, and I still love it. But getting it to works is more and more of a pain nowadays, and I find myself using whatever webmail my company uses (right now O365). For personnal emails, mutt on the desktop, and a selfhosted roundcube for when I don't have a client.
i'm just using tutanota since they don't work with 3rd party clients
Gmail. Never put much thought about it tbh
I use Tutanota's clients, and enjoy it. Haven't had any issues, was a great replacement to the unencrypted privacy-invasive Gmail and Google Calendar, sorting to folders has been even more convenient
Web portals. I use web portals.
Big fan of outlook tbh, it works well and both on iPad and android
I've probably tried every client out there and repeatedly keep exploring, but I always end back on Newton
Just remember what the Magic 8-ball says when you drink the water inside it… "Outlook is not good!"
Really, though, I know the 'me' of about 20 years ago would be shocked to hear this, but the whole Microsoft suite with Outlook is pretty comfortable to run and use. I use it when hosting websites for my business, and it's always worked how I needed it.
Beyond that, I used Thunderbird for years and that's my go-to client when I want to go free. It's easy to set up and people usually love using a Mozilla product.
Web based only here. I have multiple address though so the "client" varies. Outlook, gmail, Proton.
I have recently pivoted to proton..
I'm clinging to BlackBerry Hub+ because unfortunately I have not yet found an alternative that does the multi inbox (+ texts, signal, ...) on the same level.
TypeApp
K-9
Thunderbird. Also use it for RSS feeds.
Spark on both Android and Win. The AI integration is surprisingly useful, albeit I think a paid feature. I also personally like the look of the clients and they are pretty fully featured.
