I've been using Spark email for my casual email accounts and Nine (9folders) for my work related email, including a personal work facing/professional email and an email provided by my employer.

I'm looking to consolidate to just use one app and why not FOSS. But if you somehow think there's a better non FOSS I don't mind.

What I liked about Spark that I don't think is true anymore, is that it used to try and be a replacement of Inbox when Google decided to kill it. So I'd say that I like how Inbox 99.99% of the time categorized incoming emails automatically for me into separate inboxes or folders I suppose.

Admittedly it's better for me to cull the newsletters and promos I got but I'll Get There Eventually ™️

For what I like of Nine though, I honestly not sure anymore. I guess it was for Exchange as that's what I was given by the client for a project before, and what my employer used to use. Otherwise it's just momentum because I paid for it years ago.

What about FairEmail? Sure it's not exactly pretty, but it is FOSS, very reliable and well maintained.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I suppose I can give it another go. Like you said it isn't pretty and was the reason I stopped using it before.

But I'm looking for reliability and I don't think I can go wrong here

I've been using FE for a few years and I fucking love it. The UI (mostly settings) is atrocious until you get it all setup and never have to touch it again, just email. But it does so many things that even full desktop clients don't do. I've tried K9, I've tried others, they all suck in comparison.

TB is "fine" but I don't really 'like' it. But I'm not about to use a proprietary or paid (any more than a few bucks, one-time) desktop client, so I'm kinda sol.
