Thunderbird on PC and K-9 Mail on Android

[–] kevincox@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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).

[–] kevincox@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

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)

mbsync to sync IMAP to my local machine, then mu4e in Emacs to manage everything

@nour I use Gnome's Evolution. It was installed by default and its never given me any problems so I haven't had a reason to switch to anything else.

Evolution in Gnome

Tutanota. It's free and encrypted.

And I just use a plain text-document to compose the email.

[–] nickapos@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I use Apple mail and thunderbird when on Mac and Linux respectively

Thunderbird on the desktop. k-9 mail on mobile.
