My setup is probably a bit unusual, as I use four desktop apps and webmail

1) work emails (we use self hosted zimbra) - combination of zimbra desktop + outlook. I use outlook for usual email job - I do a lot of email exchange with corpos and Outlook is best when it comes to table support in emails (copy-paste to/from Excel). When I need to search for an email or clean up my inbox (not everything can be filtered with rules) I usually swtich to Zimbra desktop (unfortunately abandoned project) for its very compact UI (I hate a lot of spacing in modern apps), very fast searching and some UI features like "mark email", press "M" for a "move emails to folder" window with search field. If only zimbra desktop had decent table support, it would be ideal for me.

2) private emails - Thunderbird. With some plugins (currently use three: "Manually sort folders", "quick folders move" and "quick folders") I can achieve Zimbra's "move emails to folder" experience. Searching is good, but thunderbird lacks good table support so a "no-go" for me when it comes to work emails.

3) mutt - from time to time - pure nostalgia, I send maybe 5 emails / month here...

3) webmails (zimbra's web interface and roundcube) when in need and without access to my laptop/pc.
