I’m tried of how terrible Gmail is. Id like an email client with folders or categories. If it can sort them automatically (like how Googles now defunct inbox app used to) that would be even better.
Edit: in a couple days or whenever the activity on this post slows down. I will update this post with a list of the most recommended email app.
Edit2:
Results are in: Number is the amount of people who specifically mentioned it.

A thread on HN really poopoo’d proton mail (but not the VPN which I love) and recommended Fastmail over it. I can’t recall why so I’ll try to dig it up, but just throwing that out there since it might be good to check in on any major cons with it. It wasn’t scandals or “they aren’t private” or something but it felt significant when I read it.
It’s possible that it’s the lack of direct compatibility with other clients. Since it’s fully encrypted beyond even just OpenPGP capabilities, some are turned off that you can’t easily use other clients. Without a lot of effort you are required to use their mobile app or the website. And on desktop, you need to setup their Bridge to be able to use third party clients.
