I use Claws-Mail, which was from a fork of Sylpheed. I chose Claws-Mail
for its usable GPG intergration. On my laptop, I just use mutt, which I
almost prefer to Claws-Mail. Almost.
Agree with you on web based mail. My first experience with personal
email WAS web based, because I used hotmail, but when I got an accunt
with an ISP, obviously a mail client was superior, and still is. Even
more so because I think web based clients are WORSE now than they were
20+ years ago. Confusing, slow, janky, awkward ergonomics.
