Thunderbird is the best. Been using it since many years and had no major issues.

+1 vote for Thunderbird
I quite like using K-9 Mail, it merged with Thunderbird and great things are coming for it, I think it's awesome
Another vote for K9 mail. One of the few android email clients that allows pgp keys.
first time I hear about K-9, glad I read this!

Please don't hate me, but I use the Gmail app on Android since it works well enough.
On my desktop though I use Thunderbird, and have for about as long as I can remember.
- Android - K-9 mail
- Desktop - Thunderbird
Gmail because I'm super boring and it works.
Except that now I have to use Outlook too cause Uni moved from Google to Outlook
I REALLY liked the Inbox app they made for gmail. Sadly, like all the best things google makes, it went the way of the dinosaurs.
Don't worry, they are going to integrate all the features from inbox into Gmail. Any day now.
Just a few weeks I'm sure
I want Inbox back :(

You can add an outlook account to the gmail app. You may have to add it as Microsoft exchange instead of a regular Outlook account though, but the process is the same.
K9 Mail is my favorite one so far. I've tried FairEmail but the UI was confusing.
ProtonMail, Simple Login, and FairEmail.
Thunderbird with Lightning to reproduce all the outlook functionality
- Desktop: Thunderbird
- Android: K-9 Mail
I like FairEmail on Android and don't see myself switching to something else anytime soon. For the desktop I use Thunderbird
K9 mail on Android since many years and Thunderbird on laptop, also since many years. Also use Gmail, Yahoo Mail.
On Android I use FairEmail. I prefer it for it being FOSS.
I second this. This is one of the few apps I actually paid for.
Desktop = Thunderbird
Android= AquaMail
Used Gmail for a long time, 2 weeks ago switched to Outlook and simply amazed. It's easy to use, doesn't show you any ads unlike Gmail. And keep tracking the mails is much more enjoyable compared to Gmail. I believe it can do more of that if rules can be applied to Google mail accounts.
Outlook drains my phone battery so fast I cannot use it. Stick to FairEmail now.
Thunderbird!
- On my desktop: GNOME Evolution - but only because my university uses Outlook w/ Exchange (cringe) and the UI is slightly more tolerable than Thunderbird.
- On my phone: I just use the baked-in Samsung Mail app.
In terms of provider, I used to use Gmail for my personal, but got tired of Big G scraping my correspondence. I tried Proton, but its integration story is a complete joke (you can upload your calendar and contacts but there's no DAV support, their IMAP bridge is a non-standard-compliant dumpster fire that doesn't work with half the clients I tried...) so I ended up on Fastmail.
On Android I use Re:Work, like interface the best. Before that I have used previous app from the same developer (I think it was Nine mail?).
On Windows I really disliked Thunderbird, so currently testing out emClient.
Patiently waiting for Thunderbird on mobile with k-9 so Gmail it is atm
I use ProtonMail. Additionally, i have set up e-mail aliases with my domain - i get e-mail addresses like kbin@mydomain.com, or personal@mydomain.com. Its quite useful when i suddenly get sent a bunch of random spam e-mail.
I can then just block that e-mail from receving e-mail, its quite handy.
Either k9 or the native email client (Samsung Email, LG Email, ...) when they have a good Systemwide integration.
Nine, best for a full Outlook experience and a calendar color picker
Hello, fellow Nine user! Glad to see at least some other people are aware of it.

Protonmail connected to my domain
I mean, thunderbird has been around forever and it's never done me dirty.

I've probably tried every client out there and repeatedly keep exploring, but I always end back on Newton
Big fan of outlook tbh, it works well and both on iPad and android
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.
Spark for Android
ProtonMail :) (Edit: Oh i see client! (no matter as long as it works with ProtonBridge, or just web UI)
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.
Protonmail is the way
