Ask HN: What email client are you truly happy with in 2024?

[cyclecycle]

I'm still using gmail in the browser, and still thinking there must be a better way. What is the best pick in 2024 for an Ubuntu user?

[Kelteseth]

Thunderbird. Also, the new Thunderbird Android app is by far the best email client I have ever used on Android.

Do you have a way to get push email notifications? Last I checked the way to do this is with IMAP IDLE but that seemed to drain the battery quite quickly.

I use Thunderbird on a Ubuntu-based distro for a handful of inboxes, including a gmail account. No complaints.

Thunderbird. It's fast, provides native UI elements, and allows for an information dense presentation of a lot of information. Works great for handling multiple email accounts viaimap.

What do you find wrong with Gmail? I have it as a shortcut on Ubuntu so it opens as a separate window, and on my phone. It seems very not broken.

i like that i can just ignore my email completely, and only open it when i want to. so i use gmail in browser.

i have considered using thunderbird but... i dont really email that much.

for work it's outlook and outlook only. i dont like it but it works.

Thunderbird since the 1990s.

It works great and has been solid for decades.
