I have everything aggregated into Gmail, so I just use web and the mobile app. I'm looking at Proton but it doesn't have the "send as" feature for external SMTP services the Gmail does.

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.

This is exactly what I've been trying to move away from :/
I'm honestly a bit surprised that Proton doesn't seem to have the send as feature. I was able to find at least 15 posts across their uservoice.com site and their Reddit forum, spanning at least 6 years, with one of the uservoice posts having over 300 votes. I just gathered up all the links and sent it into Proton Mail support. Hopefully having all that thrown at them in one big bundle will prompt their project managers to consider it.
What do you mean? I use a custom domain in proton so that my server sends emails from info@mydomain instead of my proton email. I have about 10 addresses with three different domains in the essentials plan and I can send emails from different containers as different emails

Evolution
I'm not a big email user, tried some of the clients multiple times and always return to web.
Gnus, aerc, neomutt
To be honest, i still use Geary. It has a nice UI, and if you just read and write a small handful a month it still gets the job done.
Evolution, I wish I could use Thunderbird, but that crashes when signing mails with my Yubikey.
I use Mailspring. The only thing missing from Mailspring for me is seeing what folders my emails are in when I run a search. Otherwise, it's the only non-CLI client I've found that let's me use the keyboard to select multiple emails and move them to a folder, something I do in Gmail.
If anyone knows of others, let me know! I've tried Claws, Evolution, Geary, KMail, and Thunderbird in addition to Mutt and aerc in hopes of finding something to replace Gmail.
On my *nix machine I'm currently using NeoMutt & Aerc as MUA with different MTA/MRA. It suit my use case for reading lots of mailing list. Meanwhile on Android, currently using FairEmail. I was using K-9 Mail previously for over a decade.
I used to have lieer's gmi (read: mbsync with gmail tag syncing) paired with notmuch. It's good when it works, but it's annoying to need a service in the background.
I used to use Gnus, but Gnus is sometimes weirds out if your tag filters are too complex for it
Gnus in Emacs, configured to use autocrypt.
How is autocrypt supported nowadays?
Sorry for the delay, but the answer was long enough that I turned it into a blog post instead. Feel free to try it out.
Thanks for taking the time to write this!
I like neomutt and kmail.
mu4e because it's the best email client which runs in Emacs.
I'm just using Gmail lol. I don't really do anything with email.
Tuta (used to be called Tutanota), web and Android clients).
Because F++k Google.
