I use different web interfaces to access Gmail, Hotmail, ProtonMail, Disroot, etc. However, I would like to use a single client to receive all my emails. Which desktop programs would you recommend for Linux, and which apps would you recommend for Android? I need them to support all of these email boxes. From what I’ve read around here, most people recommend Thunderbird for Linux, Mutt for power users, and K-9 Mail for Android. However, the first thing I noticed when opening K-9 Mail is that it doesn’t support Hotmail accounts.

    I think the most popular choices for a desktop computer are something like Thunderbird or Evolution. Or one of the sleek and minimalistic newer ones like Geary.

    K-9 for Android has lots of features and is a popular choice. If hotmail doesn’t support one of the widely accepted standards like IMAP, you need to look up what solutions other people came up with. Could be very well the case that is’s also not supported with Thunderbird and Evolution etc then.

    Using Thunderbird and K9. Hotmail working perfectly on both, you might have messed up the settings.

    Unless you pay a subscription fee to be able to run mystery meat proxy, you won’t be able to open protonmail accounts either…

    There’s no program for what you expect to be able to do, because it’s impossible.

    But well, if the service you’re using allows automatic forwarding of mail, you can always forward it all to address whose provider that doesn’t fuck over plain imap clients.
