Hello Lemmy, I would like to know how do you all read email.
- What email clients (or web UI) do you use? And on what platform?
- What is something you don’t like from the client?
- What is something you like from the client?
- What is something you don’t like from the email service?
- What is something you like from the email service?.
- Is there a feature you would like your client implemented?
- Do you have any particular method or workflow of going through and extensive inbox?
If you have any other comment it would be appreciated as well.
On my computer I use the web interface and on my phone I use Thunderbird. One thing I do is to delete or archive any message that does not need any action, and it has been a blessing, my emails are so much easier to go through.
That’s all, thank you in advance.
Edison Email on Android for now.
Don’t like combined Inbox being default. Do like how fast it loads up and the rest of the GUI doesn’t annoy me. Good dark theme.
Betterbird on Desktop. Marginally better GUI options I care about over Thunderbird. Multi-line View. Linux/Windows. I like everything, no negatives.
I use Runbox who’ve existed since 2000 out of Norway and a separate service for a domain name as my backend. Runbox has a comically outdated web GUI. Very web 1.0. Very slowly replacing it with Runbox version 7. I don’t care as I never use the website except for creating sorting rules and email aliases.
Mobile I mainly just use for 2factor on mobile so the app matters less since I infrequently use it. Main usage I’m still primarily a desktop user when it comes to dealing with my email. Runbox I set up to sort my email for me so Betterbird isn’t doing much advanced stuff besides flagging Junk/Not Junk. Aliases are themed and I sign up for stuff with them, autosorted into dedicated folders for each alias. This also makes setting up on a new machine quick and simple.
