    How many people still use an email client? Genuine question.

    I use either my phone or a web interface.

      • offline access and archival
      • use with multiple providers
      • seamless integration with contacts and calendar of any provider
      • better keyboard shortcuts
      • multiple windows
      • end2end encryption via PGP keys, can use same keys as the rest of the system
      • more lightweight on system resources
      • themes, I guess?

      I only recently start using it after also being a browser email user all my life.

      Kinda wondering what took me so long Thunderbird is great! don’t have to relearn questionable Ui between different email providers or re-login to check two mailboxes on the same provider.

      Only annoying thing is not supporting ProtonMail out of the box.

        That annoying thing is more on Protonmail though and I don’t mean that as a negative, just more difficult to connect when the provider wants to keep things secure.

        That’s Protons fault, they’re the ones that decided to ignore all the open and standard e-mail, contacts and calendar protocols out there and built their custom-everything stack to keep you vendor-locked into their interfaces.
