mail.app, it downloads the whole mssage and inline threading sucks, tool buttons are small, they keep removing features every feature, gigantic email storage locally you cannot change.

Pros: birthday invitations are easy!

thunderbird, designed for the 90s no calendar integration that doesn't suck, tabbed windows always break when you RDP in. (they go black in windows), slow to startup with huge email account.

pros: transferring between PCs is as easy as packing up the user folder

win 10 mail: cant open more than one email at a time, copy-paste is broken becuase UWP lol, and when you do paste in images from snipping tool, half the time they don't actually send.

pros: fast. real notifications in windows 10

an old workplace used lotus notes for all kinds of random bussiness apps, they had like two FTEs dedicated to maintaining that garbage :psyduck:

my current workplace uses outlook and its OK, except we upgraded to a newer version that has tons of useless whitespace instead of clear delineation between messages and a really off-putting smoothed cursor effect when typing

we got this at work. managed to turn off the weird smooth cursor, still having to live with useless whitespace

If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.
Best I've ever used was Lotus Notes circa 2006 working for [Big Corporate top 50].

outlook 16 windows is frankly pretty good, but it's not good at handling large inboxes unless you archive every 6 months.

Thunderbird: Wouldn't even sync my mail boxes. Never could get it to sync/work. I guess I have too much e-mail
Outlook: I don't know, I remember it being really bad.
Mail.app: It's fine.
emClient: It's good. No weird issues, handles things well.
pine/elm: all hail RMS!

just write your own mail client in python/gtk and call it a day. if it doesn't work you have no one to blame but yourself. :dukedoge:

How so? Must be your machine. Gmail has always worked flawlessly and is faster and more responsive somehow than these native mail clients. When I've tried to use Outlook or Mail.app sometimes across multiple commuters and OSS and years I've had to wait several minutes for 'send/recieve' or even restart the computer to make it send whatever is in outbox, and even that doesn't work until it decides to randomly work later on. So web clients are surprisingly much more superior.

you're dragging a selection box instead of checking boxes, you can handle different accounts at once, etc. i also find it annoying to miss notifications because i don't keep tabs open on pages i'm not using.

agreed though, still waiting to hear about a no nonsense cross platform client that isn't a pig.

There are two possible emails: work and personal (and you set up forwarding for your shopping and alias emails etc to your main one), and they should be as separate as possible anyway. Any other email account is not important enough to check regularly and you use mailinator for those purposes. If you have to keep up with a dizzying amount of emails for work just get a new job.

[quote]WiiMail is a simple email client for your Wii, allowing you to retrieve and send mail.
It currently supports both POP3 and SMTP, and supports using SSL/TLS over these protocols. IMAP is currently not supported, but may be implemented in the future.
Note to developers: I will also be releasing a library, which could be useful if you would like to send an email from your application (e.g. for error reporting).

Features

Send mail via SMTP
Retrieve mail via POP3
SSL/TLS
Save your settings on the SD card
Email signature
One account (for now)
