From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thunderbird on my pc and the default ios app on my phone for my non proton mail email accounts I just use the proton mail website when I use my proton email
Thunderbird is very nice and lightweight compared with outlook. Picks up email settings more quicker and is much simpler to use than outlook. Recommended to all my clients.
If exchange servers and outlook.com weren't total dickheads about their very special and proprietary Auth methods I'd literally never use outlook as a client
Icedove (Thunderbird) works well enough for me. Maybe the reason it's "old fashioned" is because it works well enough that it doesn't need to be changed that often.
In the proprietary software world we're used to UI's being redesigned on a regular basis for no user benefit.
Vivaldi M3 on desktop, K9 on mobile.
i still have to use windows occasionally, and just run thunderbird on that. When on linux i use aerc because i way prefer terminal applications in general, but also i am lazy and the setup took about three seconds vs. mutt which requires a bit more work.
I'm lazy - just gmail pinned in a tab on my browser on my Linux desktop, the browser is always open anyway. Default mail client on iOS/iPadOS.
I've used Thunderbird in the past. The redesign was nice but it's still a bit cludgy to use somehow, compared to gmail web.
Betterbird (Thunderbird fork) for pc, K-9 for phone.
betterbird tray solution doesn't work on wayland, given a bug on common code (affects both, Firefox, Thunderbird and derivatives). Just in case that's one of the motivations of using betterbird. That by the way was the only feature that really made me look at betterbird, and as it didn't work, I went back to TB. And if you're wondering, birdtray doesn't work on wayland, 😑.
I flip flop between emacs and Thunderbird I use protonmail and both work great Integration with protonmail calendar and drive either is poor or non existant, but I don't use/care about those features anyway
Evolution, Thunderbird and KMail, depending on the system. Though I've had only trouble with Thunderbird and gpg signing with a yubikey. The others just work.
On Android I'm using FairMail.
Thunderbird, k-9, and aerc
Thunderbird. Being on Plasma, I would use Kontact / KMail but it randomly refuses to send emails for me.
Thunderbird with the Proton Mail Bridge on desktop, Proton Mail client on mobile although I'd prefer to have all my mails on K9 since I have multiple mail accounts and haven't fully migrated from gmail.
I recently (months ago) switched back to Evolution from Thunderbird. I used both of them several years. I had a webmail phase in between. Thunderbird has/had enoying issues displaying mail threads.
For calender I switched to gnome-calendar, because it looks very modern.
Trying to get the hang of meli on my laptop & K-9 on (unGoogled) Android
