What desktop email client do you guys use? I've been using for years but I find bloated and the search is pain to use. Any recommendations? Needless to say it has to be libre.

@rgggn mentioning "recommendations": may I recommend checking with softwarerecs.stackexchange.com ? Make an account (if you don't have one already on SE), open a new question, and make sure to include all your requirements (incl. features, OS, FOSS). Expect good and matching recommendations (even if you might have to wait a little for them pouring in).

@rgggn been using Kmail since I use Plasma, but Evolution seemed good to me when I used Gnome awhile back. Couldn't get Geary to work with my email provider (I use Protonmail w/ the IMAP Bridge).

@rgggn I use NeoMutt. I would recommend checking out Offlineimap and Notmuch as well.

@rgggn elementary Mail for me, though I wouldn't necessarily recommend it if you've got lots of eMail you need to manage.

That said it works great for me!

@rgggn I use and love Geary. Decided I want to help them along with getting PGP support recently.

@brainblasted @rgggn does Geary do EDS now? Every time I use Linux I end up using Evolution so I can use Exchange; which if a mail client other than Evolution did EDS...

@calvin @rgggn it uses EDS paritally. Not sure by how much.

What I would like is if it used GNOME Online Accounts. GOA's login process is nice, and they handle Google, MS, Exchange, and IMAP/SMTP logins.

@brainblasted @rgggn yeah, I kinda conflated EDS with GOA; the question remained the same anyways.

next time I turn on my test machine, I'' load up Geary and see if it recognizes the Exchange account in GOA.

@blanklupo @rgggn nope, Geary is actively developed.Just migrated to the GNOME Gitlab too.

@rgggn Claws Mail for years now. Bonus points for PGP being perfectly secure (if you don't install the optional "pretty html" plugin)

@rgggn I use Thunderbird. Autocrypt/enigmail is the main reason.

@rgggn I use evolution. I wouldn't say it's slow, but it does take a while to check for mail. And the advanced search function is confusing to me. But I still use it nonetheless.

@rgggn Evolution has my personal account and I use Thunderbird for work but, more often than not, I use Roundcube. I know that's not a desktop client but it might meet your needs if you give it a shot (with the right plugins). Geary is okay if you have uncomplicated requirements.

@rgggn I'm looking forward to KDE's Kube to get more stable, and integration with PIM

@rgggn
I use TB. Claws can't communicate with cardDAV and evolution has zero support for #rtl languages. And #Thunderbird seems snappy enough since I stopped using gmail.

@rgggn
#geary also has zero #rtl support. Mail client in linux make me feel like it's the nineties with their staggering lack of rtl support...
