I have been using KDE for a while, while I like many features I am looking for suggestions to the default email client:

Kmail - completely unusable for me and the only one which could maybe be integrated with kontacts, it could not receive mails from IMAP or pop or would receive only sometimes

Geary - good but too minimal, I need at least some kind of contact list and mailing lists feature, maybe this integrates with gnome contacts? I couldn’t find anything in settings

    I second this! It seems to have more features than Thunderbird while being just a fifth of the file size.

    I can‘t confirm this, but I have read elsewhere that Thunderbird is a bit bloated.

      Aren’t you concerned that the development is in the hands of just one guy?

        Not the above poster, but for me: it’s a slight concern but AFAIK the profiles are interchangeable so it’s pretty trivial to just switch back to Thunderbird if anything does happen.

            That‘s not how it works. The mails are not stored on BetterBird servers (there are none). Your mails are stored on your E-Mail providers server (like Gmail) and downloaded to your local client via IMAP or POP3.

            The developer of BetterBird does not have access to any of that.

              Oh, understood. Dumb me, lol.

              So, aren’t there security risks associated with using Betterbird?
