I just installed nylas mail to see whether it support well plain text emails.

It seems to me all this mail solutions requires that the password of the mail server must be somewhere visible in a poor plain text file which is a no-go for me.

There's an addon that lets you store Thunderbird's passwords with Gnome's keyring. That said, in the end you must either type it each time or it must be stored in a way that can be read in an automated way.
