Also using outlook. I can say for certain there are some bugs with IMAP email accounts, but other than that it has been working well for me for years.
The only thing I don't like about it (other than the IMAP bugs) is the notification sounds that are exactly the same as my work mail on PC. I get jittery whenever I hear those sounds.
no client - firefox containers for when I'm forced to use gsuite (work stuff) so I can keep different gmail tabs open without cross contaminating the cookies. And ProtonMail for personal (also in its own container).
Thunderbird on the desktop; K-9 Mail on Android.
Every time I try a different email client (on the desktop) I always go back to Thunderbird within a few days. Within the last few months I've grown to love a T-bird fork called "Betterbird" which seems a lot snappier and more responsive than the "official" bird.
I'm clinging to BlackBerry Hub+ because unfortunately I have not yet found an alternative that does the multi inbox (+ texts, signal, ...) on the same level.
Work Desktop: Microsoft Outlook Work Mobile: Microsoft Outlook Home Desktop: mail.google.com Home Mobile: GMail android app
Why? Because I was on Proton personally for a long time but got frustrated with the lack of features and also my wife and I rely heavily on shared groupware stuff like calendars and reminders, so we switched back to Google Mail. Once Proton is a bit more feature-rich, we'll take a look at it again.
I've probably tried every client out there and repeatedly keep exploring, but I always end back on Newton
I manage my e-mails with Blackberry Hub. (On a Fold 4).
It's not amazing, but works well enough.
KMail for Linux (KDE) and K-9 for Android. I used to use Thunderbird, but hit a couple of bugs that just wouldn't go away. Absolutely love KMail.
Gmail on mobile.
Thunderbird on the desktop. I keep TB running all the time to do filtering. Google filtering is lacking.
I'm moving to Tutanota so I have to use there client on desktop and mobile. I have Thunderbird for my Gmail and Outlook emails on Desktop and just use Gmail and Outlook apps on my phone.
Since google threatened to end legacy gsuite accounts I ended up migrating my email to another service (Namecheap).
Because of that I also had to use different email clients.
Desktop - emClient (prefer this to Thunderbird)
Android - Spark
Both work pretty well for me so far.
I actually swapped to Protonmail last night. Took awhile to change the email address on everything, but worth it. Trying out the free version for now, keeping my Gmail as a backup and for Android.

I use thunderbird cause I saw the new logo and thought it was cool.
Thunderbird. Also use it for RSS feeds.
On desktop I stick to the wonderful (for Gnome users, at least) @Geary.
On Android K-9 is fantastic, but regrettably I'm currently using the stock Gmail app because I had trouble setting up my Office365 work email. :(
Outlook mobile seems to be the only one to give mark as read function on the galaxy watch. That's the only reason I use it.
Apple Mail on Mac and iPhone, because it’s simple and it works well.
Twobird
I've been using Spark and remained using it especially now that they have a desktop client it's just so clean.
I haven't figured out a reason to use a separate email client up to this point. I just use the webapps for Gmail and Fastmail.
Used Eudora long ago. As its support dropped and Qualcomm's development of Thunderbird took off, somewhere during that I embraced the spiritual companion of Firefox. I have to use Outlook at work, that helps me not consider changing at home. Also jumped on the Gmail bandwagon back when you had to get an invite to participate. It was just a side email at the time with storage built in, but when my original ISP provider finally threatened to charge me for having an email account, I moved everything over and linked Thunderbird up to pull from Gmail.
Eudora remains in my heart as the acme of email clients!
The closest thing I have found to it is EM Client, which also has calendaring built in. I find it’s well worth the money, particularly if you have a variety of email accounts across multiple domains, including Google.
I am with Google Workspace, so most of the time I would use the website, but if I had to use something, it would be Thunderbird on Desktop and Spark on Mobile.
TypeApp
K-9

Tried Fair mail and k-mail and they are ok... Liked Outlook but came back to Gmail since it can't be removed from the device anyways..
Not exactly just a client but a client and a service: HEY from 37signals (formerly Basecamp).
I've been using it for a year and a half and I really love it.
