Hi guys!
At this point it’s been a while since I don’t use a mail client, last time Evolution sorted my need of Activesync compatibility and I used it extensively. But these days I no longer need that, as I’m planning to use just protonmail and maybe also sync gmail to it (although for gmail I kinda prefer the web). Reading through the comments on the app I saw mentions about Betterbird…What’s your thoughts on this?
I wish I remembered more details but the consensus seemed to be to stick with Thunderbird. I use it every day and the new v115 really made it feel new again.
I’m still on 102.13, what did you like about 115? I assume it was more than just another skin change?
115 made Thunderbird UI more customizable and consistent. The idea was to get rid of some of the cruft which accumulated over the last 10 years and make development easier.
But they’ll add features like Thunderbird Sync to share settings between different devices, like the upcoming Thunderbird Android (K9-Mail).
Out of all the email clients I’ve tried, Thunderbird has been the only one that seems to fetch email the instant it comes in, as well as just being all around well featured. I haven’t tried Betterbird but from the name I assume it’s a fork of Thunderbird so it’s probably good as well.
Proton mail doesn’t support email clients unless you pay for and install their Proton Bridge app, FYI.
That’s right, to add a bit more color, any of Proton mail paid plans allows you to use Proton Bridge (which runs locally and speaks IMAP to your mail client).
I recently switched back to Evolution from Thunderbird, because the threaded view is more reliable. I miss the good label management and filtering a bit, but is not impossible to use them in Evolution. And Evolution is native to Gnome, which I prefer.
There is KMail as well
