Besides Thunderbird, is there any good desktop mail client for Windows that doesn’t involve uploading mail to a cloud first?
The built-in Mail app is pretty nice, other than that eM Client is good too
And that’s why I’m explicitly noting that they’re not FOSS, doofus. Besides, if you’re using Windows anyway, using its built-in email client is not a huge stretch.
I mean, yes. But why would I want my emails also to go through the spyware OS. What you’re saying sounds like “you’re already using a OS that tracks everything, giving them your emails at this point wouldn’t hurt.”
This is the FOSS community.
Given people are regularly promoting proprietary trash and being upvoted for it, while people taking a pro-FOSS stance are downvoted, I don’t think this is a FOSS community in anything but name anymore.
At the very least I’d have hoped we’d left the childish name calling behind at reddit, but it seems you can’t really take the reddit out of the redditor.
That’s going to be killed off in favor of Outlook in the near future, from what I understand.
If OP is willing to do a bit of extra legwork and somewhat masochistic, then pretty much any Linux-based mail client is fair game with WSL2. The only one I’ve used lately other than Thunderbird is Evolution, but that was just to test a particular distro’s default offering.
Thunderbird.
There is also Mailbird (not FOSS, costs money and has some weird NordVPN-like fake sales, but the app seems somewhat competent) and Mailspring (partly open source but afaik not completely, built with a MacOS-esque UI but works for Windows and Linux as well).
What do you mean by uploading to the cloud first? Any email goes over the internet
Are you saying that Mozilla keeps copies of your emails on their own servers?
🤨
No, I am saying that OP is looking for an alternative client, which also doesn’t upload their emails. For example, mailspring would be a bad recommendation because, as far as I know, it uploads your email to their server
Mailspring
