Being smarter about how I read my mail. Less-awful-UX in email clients.
This problem is not too hard to solve on Windows or macOS. On Linux, it is a shitshow. Consequently, I have listed all the Linux-specific options separately. You could probably have a look at those too. Many of them run on Windows or macOS too. (Although the ones that do are uninspiring).
1 Apple Mail
Apple Mail is built into macOS and I think it is pretty good. Obviously, it only runs on macOS.
gpgtools will upgrade even Apple Mail to be a bit more encryptey, if that seems exciting.
2 Outlook
OK-ish.
3 Mailbird
Mailbird (Commercial, Mac/Windows).
4 Polymail
Polymail (Commercial, Mac/Windows/iOS/maybe Android) is an email client that promises AI automation stuff.
5 Spark
Spark is a commercial app that comes recommended as less of a mess than other mail thingies and for innovating in design and such. (macOS/Android).
6 Postbox
Postbox (macOS/Windows) seems OK. USD29.
7 eM Client
eM Client Mac/Windows. AUD80
8 Gyaz
USD18.
9 mailvelope
“mailvelope is an easy-to-use web-browser extension which brings OpenPGP encryption to webmail services such as Gmail™, Yahoo™ and others. With its unintrusive interface fully integrated into your webmail service, Mailvelope instantly secures your personal and professional email communications.”
One day I will have a problem that involves sending GPG mail, and on that day, this will solve a problem for me.
