Email Clients vs. Webmail Anonymous 12/23/25(Tue)17:02:19 No.107649434

Do you use an email client? If so, why? Is there any benefit to using an email client over webmail? Unless you're self hosting I don't get it.

I would love to use mail clients. There are no good mail clients for Linux and even Windows. Everything good is on macOS. Even their builtin mail app mogs everything else.

I want to use a client but I don't know which one. Thunderbird isn't all that good. What are some better options?

Much faster, no pozz, no bloat, no privacy hazards, pgp plugin and nobody gets to have my mail forever (provided the service is honest, which in my case it is).
