to you linux/unix people, what mail client is your fave? Or maybe you just use a browser?

All of my personal email eventually ends up going to a webmail account, and I read it in the browser (or through an app on my phone). A decent chunk of that is forwarded along by Synchronet.

At work I use Thunderbird with a plugin for MS Exchange. I'm not crazy about it, but it's better than the Outlook web application.

to you linux/unix people, what mail client is your fave? Or maybe you just use a browser?

For my personal mail, I tend to just use a web browser these days. But Thunderbird was my favorite for a long time. At work, I use Outlook since that's what they set up for us on our machines. And they use a MS Exchange mail server anyway, which works along with Outlook for features such as email recall, and mail filters on the mail server.

i liked thunderbird but i didnt like where they were going development wise.

right now i use a windows program called poppeeper for my desktop, and i forward all my email addresses to one email acct on my phone.

on linux sometimes i use claws.

Text mode, I liked Pine (or Alpine). GUI mode, Thunderbird is my client of choice, because I can use it on Mac, Windows and Linux.

I hate webmail for anything serious. Web interfaces and me don't get along well, too many slowdowns and extra mouse clicks.

Gotta agree pine (Al)pine for CLI mode but since everything is basically
IMAP4 anyway, I tend to use Mail.app on OS X and Thunderbird on everything
else - unless for some godforsaken reason I need to talk to an Exchange Server in which case it's Outlook (Outlook on OS X isn't actually all that bad)..

I hate web apps, period - that why my Dock looks like this lol..

It seems like I am an average user: use the web browser to check my personal E-Mail and Outkook for my work E-Mail.

Granted, I do keep work and personal things separated from each other.

When I had a shell account with my ISP, pine was also my e-mail client of choice. For x-windows, I use Clawsmail.

want to try Claws-Mail though (it's a good and simple mail client)

PINE rocks. I had pine talking to an Exchange server via IMAP and LDAP, with the public folders representing as newsgroups.

i hate webmail, but Google search on my mail spool has made me prefer using Gmail for most email nowadays.

Thunderbird does a pretty good job at searching too.

I mostly use Alpine when I can. However, for work, I have to use
Thunderbird, as I require the calendaring module, and can't get calcurse to work with my company's caldav server.

I've been using alpine as a commandline mail client. At least for plain text emails :-)

I am embarassed to say that my favorite local email client now is Outlook Express; I had it running on the BBS but had to replace it with Thunderbird when I went to a different version of Windows. I got used to it, and with OE QuoteFix, a plugin that bottom quoted, it worked nicely on the BBS.

It's been a real long time since I used OE. I use full featured Outlook all the time at work. I don't remember too many details on OE, but it seemed pretty good at the time. At home I'm just not on Windows enough to even use email with it. I may toy around with a few more things at some point now that I'm on Win 10 on my laptop, but I'm usually just using it to log into work to put out fires on the weekends.
