    I use Thunderbird on desktop and K9 on mobile.

    I can’t say I love either but I’ve tried a bunch of options and they were the best for me. Plus development has picked up on both recently so I hope they get polished up.

      IIRC, the primary (and maybe only?) dev for k-9 mail on Android was hired by the Thunderbird team, and eventually, k-9 will get rebranded as a mobile version of Thunderbird (presumably with eventual setting sync capabilities and feature parity and such).

        Yes, that is a large part of what I meant by “development has picked up”. IIUC there are now multiple full-time devs on K9 (which I guess will be called Thunderbird Mobile or something eventually)

    Generally I use Thunderbird since it’s cross platform and consistent, though recently I’ve been trying out Geary and it’s not bad, but definitely is a bit too basic for me. For example, it’s not super obvious how to mark all messages in a folder as read - and when doing so in another client, I was stuck with an inconsistent unread counter.

    So I’ll probably just end up on good ole Thunderbird again.

    On Android I just use the Gmail app, but I’ll be looking to see how the new Thunderbird/K-9 update goes.

    I think claws on linux is fantastic. It’s not packed with features, but it has everything I need and is very straightforward to configure and use once you’ve got your accounts connected. My work uses office365 for our emails which gave me a lot of trouble setting up, but I found a FOSS program called davmail which allows those accounts to be compatible with all email clients.
