I used AquaMail for years, but they just decided that this fall they will go subscription, and old paid users who bought the app will not get all features. So, I've transitioned to the paid (one time purchase) version of Nine email app(by 9folders). It is equally capable, working with my free accounts and my O365 corporate account (including synching calendar). I looked at several open source options, and none were competent to deal with my Work O365 stuff.
I have been using Nine for literally over a decade. Amazing app, very well supported.
Either k9 or the native email client (Samsung Email, LG Email, ...) when they have a good Systemwide integration.
Outlook drains my phone battery so fast I cannot use it. Stick to FairEmail now.
I used outlook for years. Then they threw ads in between emails... I instantly deleted outlook and haven't looked back. The last place I want to see ads is my fucking email 🙄

K9 Mail on my phone, neomutt on the desktop.
Protonmail connected to my domain
I used Aqua Mail Pro for years and it's fantastic. They're switching to a subscription model for $30/yr so I switched to Samsung email.
Wow - I had Aquamail from 2015 and loved that app; so sad to see another company go for the shitification of their product.

Web based only here. I have multiple address though so the "client" varies. Outlook, gmail, Proton.
gmail emails
Big fan of outlook tbh, it works well and both on iPad and android
I've probably tried every client out there and repeatedly keep exploring, but I always end back on Newton
It's paid (one off $15 I think), but has a two week trial but I've been using Nine for a few years now, pretty happy with it.
i'm just using tutanota since they don't work with 3rd party clients
Literally just started using k9 mail on my phone and it is amazing. It just does all of the setup for you.
Been using mutt for years, and I still love it. But getting it to works is more and more of a pain nowadays, and I find myself using whatever webmail my company uses (right now O365). For personnal emails, mutt on the desktop, and a selfhosted roundcube for when I don't have a client.
I use Tutanota's clients, and enjoy it. Haven't had any issues, was a great replacement to the unencrypted privacy-invasive Gmail and Google Calendar, sorting to folders has been even more convenient
Careful if you're using Outlook on Android. From what I've read, it doesn't actually locally handle non-exchange accounts like IMAP or POP3 (why are you using POP3 though). It's done on Microsoft's servers, so your basically giving Microsoft your e-mails. I'm not sure what kind of access they get to them from the privacy agreement you probably just clicked past.
So Outlook in Android users Microsoft servers to fetch your mail, and the client just shows whatever the server got.
Gmail. Never put much thought about it tbh
I've migrated from just using a gmail account to using Anonaddy which point towards a Tutanota email. The migration was PAINFUL, but glad I persisted and went through with it.
Just remember what the Magic 8-ball says when you drink the water inside it… "Outlook is not good!"
Really, though, I know the 'me' of about 20 years ago would be shocked to hear this, but the whole Microsoft suite with Outlook is pretty comfortable to run and use. I use it when hosting websites for my business, and it's always worked how I needed it.
Beyond that, I used Thunderbird for years and that's my go-to client when I want to go free. It's easy to set up and people usually love using a Mozilla product.
Protonmail is the way
Been using K-9 Mail because they support OpenPGP. Also, their user interface is miles better than FairEmail's.
Since google threatened to end legacy gsuite accounts I ended up migrating my email to another service (Namecheap).
Because of that I also had to use different email clients.
Desktop - emClient (prefer this to Thunderbird)
Android - Spark
Both work pretty well for me so far.
on desktop I use eM Client. On Android I was using just plain GMail but I saw people in this comment section using other stuff so I checked it out and swapped to FairEmail.
edit: FairEmail is fantastic and I've upgraded to pro. Definitely recommend this one for mobile users with multiple email accounts.
Used to use Thunderbird but I wanted something that just looked like it was from this century. I like how eM Client works and its features and it looks nice. I don't like that I am limited to 2 email accounts though. I'd love something like it that is FOSS and allows more email addresses.
Twobird
TypeApp
K-9
Thunderbird. Also use it for RSS feeds.
Spark on both Android and Win. The AI integration is surprisingly useful, albeit I think a paid feature. I also personally like the look of the clients and they are pretty fully featured.
I'm clinging to BlackBerry Hub+ because unfortunately I have not yet found an alternative that does the multi inbox (+ texts, signal, ...) on the same level.
