I used outlook for years. Then they threw ads in between emails... I instantly deleted outlook and haven't looked back. The last place I want to see ads is my fucking email π

neomut, because I have linux brain damage
Thunderbird has worked well for me
For Gmail users on Mac desktop, I really canβt recommend Minestream enough, if a paid app isnβt a dealbreaker. Itβs designed by ex-Applers and implements gmailβs API completelyβ even to the point of the signature editor and vacation auto responder and having a mode that only shows unread messages and starred messages in your inbox (which is kind of a badass way to stay on top of busy mailboxes).
Web based only here. I have multiple address though so the "client" varies. Outlook, gmail, Proton.
Gmail. Never put much thought about it tbh
I used Aqua Mail Pro for years and it's fantastic. They're switching to a subscription model for $30/yr so I switched to Samsung email.
Wow - I had Aquamail from 2015 and loved that app; so sad to see another company go for the shitification of their product.
Fellow AquaMail refugee here. My work actually blocks Samsung Mail, but the paid version of Nine works great, and on the same phone, has a noticeably faster UI when compared to AquaMail.
I've probably tried every client out there and repeatedly keep exploring, but I always end back on Newton
Literally just started using k9 mail on my phone and it is amazing. It just does all of the setup for you.
Big fan of outlook tbh, it works well and both on iPad and android
I used AquaMail for years, but they just decided that this fall they will go subscription, and old paid users who bought the app will not get all features. So, I've transitioned to the paid (one time purchase) version of Nine email app(by 9folders). It is equally capable, working with my free accounts and my O365 corporate account (including synching calendar). I looked at several open source options, and none were competent to deal with my Work O365 stuff.
I have been using Nine for literally over a decade. Amazing app, very well supported.
On Mobile: K-9
On Desktop: Claws Mail

Careful if you're using Outlook on Android. From what I've read, it doesn't actually locally handle non-exchange accounts like IMAP or POP3 (why are you using POP3 though). It's done on Microsoft's servers, so your basically giving Microsoft your e-mails. I'm not sure what kind of access they get to them from the privacy agreement you probably just clicked past.
So Outlook in Android users Microsoft servers to fetch your mail, and the client just shows whatever the server got.
Been using mutt for years, and I still love it. But getting it to works is more and more of a pain nowadays, and I find myself using whatever webmail my company uses (right now O365). For personnal emails, mutt on the desktop, and a selfhosted roundcube for when I don't have a client.
It's paid (one off $15 I think), but has a two week trial but I've been using Nine for a few years now, pretty happy with it.
I've migrated from just using a gmail account to using Anonaddy which point towards a Tutanota email. The migration was PAINFUL, but glad I persisted and went through with it.
Been using K-9 Mail because they support OpenPGP. Also, their user interface is miles better than FairEmail's.
Outlook drains my phone battery so fast I cannot use it. Stick to FairEmail now.
Web portals. I use web portals.
Protonmail is the way
I use Tutanota's clients, and enjoy it. Haven't had any issues, was a great replacement to the unencrypted privacy-invasive Gmail and Google Calendar, sorting to folders has been even more convenient
i'm just using tutanota since they don't work with 3rd party clients
Every time I try a different email client (on the desktop) I always go back to Thunderbird within a few days. Within the last few months I've grown to love a T-bird fork called "Betterbird" which seems a lot snappier and more responsive than the "official" bird.
Although my main one is gmail, I have been using proton mail for a while and I'm getting to point where I trust it for most stuff and I will start to move non-critical stuff away from gmail.
I'm in the same boat, I'm very impressed with proton mail, their UI is very good.
On desktop I stick to the wonderful (for Gnome users, at least) @Geary.
On Android K-9 is fantastic, but regrettably I'm currently using the stock Gmail app because I had trouble setting up my Office365 work email. :(
Twobird
Spark on both Android and Win. The AI integration is surprisingly useful, albeit I think a paid feature. I also personally like the look of the clients and they are pretty fully featured.
no client - firefox containers for when I'm forced to use gsuite (work stuff) so I can keep different gmail tabs open without cross contaminating the cookies. And ProtonMail for personal (also in its own container).
