Getting sick of Microsoft and their bullshit with Outlook. Besides maybe Protonmail, does anyone here know of any good email client alternatives to Outlook? Heard Em Client is decent too but I'm really not sure where to move to.

Any suggestions?

i had thunderbird for a while but the fact that you can't have multiple accounts on the same app at once like in outlook really frustrates me

desu eM Client is in fact better, because you can set to download via IMAP mails only from last days, which is perfect for spambox

it's not like outlook though, idk how to explain it since it's been a while since i used it, but you couldn't just add an account like outlook does, you had to get your IMAP/POP3 manually and it was very tedious, at least that's how i remembered it but i could be wrong

accounts limit is the biggest limitation, if you need to use more accounts at once then just pirate it

this
Don't use em-client with Outlook accounts. It will steal Microsoft creds. It apparently doesn't do this to Apple accounts for whatever reason.

>>105932488
Thanks.
I wasn't aware of this, I'll do some checks on the clients that use the new versions.
I would hope most of this at least gets logged by local firewalls, I just checked mine with a fresh install of new Outlook and I didn't see any credential passing.

>Claws Mail is a powerful and full-featured mail client formerly called Sylpheed-Claws
shoulda read before I asked :P
anyway for everyone else, I use this and it gets the job done, sometimes it gets temperamental when fetching mail.
I use email like a retard so its probably just user error and not the programs fault though.

buy an AD, eM "literal thunderbird clone" client.
use thunderbird + stalwart to self host.
and why are you conflating email client with email provider?
is this a paid shill bot thread?
