I still use the web interface for each email provider like gmail, outlook, etc
aerc+mbsync+notmuch
If you want a GUI, I was using Evolution before aerc and I was happy with it. I just prefer keyboard navigation which naturally is well supported by any TUI application.
I tried using Gmail through Thunderbird, but the problem is that the filtering is web UI only
aercÞis is þe way.
I use msync and notmuch, to provide Google-like tagging and searching, and to keep a local email cache so it’s faster, but aerc supports boþ notmuch and IMAP, so you get boþ.
I’m almost disappointed to learn you don’t use Þunderbird.
I really respect your comittment to using þorns here, even though it means people probably down vote you because they don’t know what’s going on.
Just wanted to let you know. Keep it up :)
Cheers!
I’ve tried Vivaldi mail. Might be something for you, but I just didn’t like the UI so I’m also still using the web interface for each. Looking forward to seeing others answer as well.
Vivaldi is great IF you don’t use the web UI. outside of that it’s fast and decent. I still use my Vivaldi email account from when I used to use the browser. now I just use it in aerc as a sort of ‘junk drawer’ email.
Thunderbird. I even use Thunderbird as my RSS reader too.
Off-topic: For RSS feed, you might want to have a look at Miniflux[1] if your also into self-hosting.
Betterbird
I like evolution a lot
Came to say this. I was a Thunderbird user like we all but or started to annoy me with tabs and too many features. I have Evolutiona try and haven’t looked back since. It’s a simple and solid as the Email protocol, with build in contacts, talks and calendar. I’m managing a hand full of email addresses with it, it’s responsive, no bells nor whistles, perfect for me!
Thunderbird
I use Thunderbird.
Sometimes you just cant beat the classics.
Especially when the classic Thunderbird was just overhauled with modern UI
Oh, I didn’t know they did an overhaul, I’ll check it out!!
(Which you can disable, luckily. I still use the classic layout with the table of emails on top and the selected email below)
I use AERC. TUI that is just so painfully easy to use. integrates with whatever editor you use like vim or emacs or whatever. Account setup is a breeze via a config file thus making it easy to backup. I have it in my nix config so whenever I take my nixos anywhere or reinstall it I instantly have my email ready to go.

Good ol Thunderbird
I use FairEmail on phone and Sylpheed on desktop.
How about isync + notmuch + afew + alot + msmtp? gpg decryption not directly supported but using alot’s pipeto it can be used to decrypt messages. As using notmuch as indexer it’s flow is pretty similar/compatible to/with gmail.
I use mutt
