From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

To be honest, i still use Geary. It has a nice UI, and if you just read and write a small handful a month it still gets the job done.
Geary on mobile, Thunderbird on desktop.
Evolution
Evolution, I wish I could use Thunderbird, but that crashes when signing mails with my Yubikey.
On my *nix machine I'm currently using NeoMutt & Aerc as MUA with different MTA/MRA. It suit my use case for reading lots of mailing list. Meanwhile on Android, currently using FairEmail. I was using K-9 Mail previously for over a decade.
Gnus in Emacs, configured to use autocrypt.
How is autocrypt supported nowadays?
Sorry for the delay, but the answer was long enough that I turned it into a blog post instead. Feel free to try it out.
Thanks for taking the time to write this!
I like neomutt and kmail.
I use Mailspring. The only thing missing from Mailspring for me is seeing what folders my emails are in when I run a search. Otherwise, it's the only non-CLI client I've found that let's me use the keyboard to select multiple emails and move them to a folder, something I do in Gmail.
If anyone knows of others, let me know! I've tried Claws, Evolution, Geary, KMail, and Thunderbird in addition to Mutt and aerc in hopes of finding something to replace Gmail.
mu4e because it's the best email client which runs in Emacs.
I used to have lieer's gmi (read: mbsync with gmail tag syncing) paired with notmuch. It's good when it works, but it's annoying to need a service in the background.
I used to use Gnus, but Gnus is sometimes weirds out if your tag filters are too complex for it
I'm just using Gmail lol. I don't really do anything with email.
Tuta (used to be called Tutanota), web and Android clients).
Because F++k Google.
