Free And Open Source E-Mail Applications

[@junelawson6708]

I use Geary. It looks good, fits in well with Gnome, and the interface is simple and intuitive. I don't really need advanced features, and I prefer to use stand-alone calendars apps, so the lack of a built-in calendar is something I like.

[@abrajitota3618]

Geary is nice but it's too simple Some of features does not exist

[@OmerB-z4i]

Mailspring is also a good option

[@Mastarfiin]

Mailspring. I can't even stand the others after having used it. Mailspring just rocks.

[@MichaelNROH]

Oh yeah.

[@TormentedHealer]

@@MichaelNROH No.

[@tomsmansvards]

I've tried to switch to Thunderbird and Geary, but I always return to Evolution. I just like it so much. I don't find it ugly and I don't try to measure it up with some pre-made notions of what is a beautiful program these days. For me it works beautifully and it organizes and labels my emails beautifully with nice labeling options.

[@TormentedHealer]

Tried Evolution in Debian, ended up with multiple inbox folders from one account.

[@quitlife9279]

Wtf has happened to the free windows mail app, it's been replaced by this "new outlook" that is utterly unusable torture.

[@louclawges9069]

I would much rather have MY email on my computer, not just out there somewhere. I miss the days of Eudora.

[@emshomar]

Thank you for making these videos

[@MichaelNROH]

Thank you for watching them 😉

[@CesarPeron]

I don't like to rely on any local program, it is more efficient to configure than a single online mail to check other servers (POP3/SMTP) and with rules and tags to have everything organized. That gives freedom to have all my accounts and emails from anywhere, without the need for extra settings when switching devices or doing a system reinstallation.

[@MichaelNROH]

Also fine. Always use what you need

[@TheCocoaDaddy]

Thunderbird user here and it works very well for me. I have BlueMail installed on Linux but I don't use it. I also have BlueMail installed on Android and I installed it mostly so I could assist friends who I recommended BlueMail to. :) I use Outlook for work and despise it. Two things I like and use a LOT in Thunderbird are: 1) message filters (I have HUNDREDS defined); 2) Junk filtering (which is quite effective, but not perfect, once trained).

[@TheCocoaDaddy]

@@thomas1699 Did you mean to post this to Michael Horn?

[@DominikZogg]

I gave up on mail apps, cause i need exchange with calendar support. Means i would have to use evolution and that's ugly as well

[@gil_L]

Fun fact: there is something wrong with the flatpak version of bluemail. If you use the snap version gmail will work on it.

[@MegaManNeo]

I mostly receive mails from eBay, Amazon, message boards and rarely friends. So technically I could indeed use my provider's webmail UI which is slick and easy to use as well but I don't want to. I actually prefer having a dedicated program for mails on my machines so I use K-Mail on Linux and FairEMail on Android.

[@gamtax]

I kinda have love-hate relationship with Outlook. The UI is great but not for UX, e.g. old Outlook can set where you want to save offline copy during wizard setup. Outlook 2016 onward only asks e-mail and password. Easy for normal user but bit tedious for advanced users. Backup and restore also a problem for Outlook. Not to mention corrupt for no reason. Have to use Thunderbird and it's great so far although requires 3rd party for Exchange.

[@ZeDfriT]

Thunderbird is free? And have app for Android users? Thanks dude.

[@busterhimen88]

Youre a good man

[@glennmontis4372]

I was using just the regular Microsoft "Mail" app on my PC. I do not need anything fancy, just something that supports multiple email accounts from different providers. Now Microsoft has replaced it with the "New" outlook and as I'm installing it I notice that it says this new application will now deliver my email "through Microsoft Servers". So now Microsoft will be eavesdropping and datamining all of my email from any provider. Absolutely unacceptable. Can you comment on these other applications? Do they do the same thing?

[@zyan...]

About Thunderbird, I would like a video showing how to customize its interface. I want to use it because it is open source, but I can't find all the layout options.

[@SirRFI]

Which of these clients have security features, like not loading external resources in mails? I think Thunderbird does

[@junelawson6708]

From experience, I know that Geary defaults to not loading external images.

[@TaldrenDR]

Windows Mail has combined Inbox. Outlook doesn't and keeps trying to replace Windows Mail which deprives me of that functionality. So , which of all these has combined inbox?

[@user-mt4zr5kp7h]

Electron-mail FTW!

[@aloneer0529]

Please never stop making videos 🤩

[@johnlackner1193]

How well does Thunderbird work on Android phones and tablets? if it doesn't work well, which ones do?

[@0versun0]

what about MailSpring

[@z0rden_]

Posteo is the best choice for email yeah its not free but its the best so it worths

[@TormentedHealer]

Sylpheed. But not suitable for people born after 1978.

[@GalaxysTaken]

EM Client is also a good option

[@CambayEngineering-i8v]

can we do mail merge

[@spencerallen323]

gnus all the way.

[@TheWho-xu1bh]

Mailspring i a good choice to

[@iwebbio]

Finally

[@tato-chip7612]

i kind of feel Kmail has been abandoned and its a shame.

[@ALAK5555]

linux user look about email apps and windows user need upgrade gpu for gaming 😂

[@MrSzaqul]

I have question. If you support open source apps, like thunderbird, did you ever click a donate button and donate for them some money? If no, it that mean you just use open source because is free and you don't want to pay for them. And this is not support for open source developer. This is my opinion.

[@vladimir_k_bestplayerna1217]

While I don't follow this methodology personally, keep in mind that lot of proprietary software is also free. So not wanting to pay doesn't really make a difference for a lot of software.
