5 Free Email Clients You Need to Try

help needed with thunderbird
i have a few issues with thunderbird that were not present like let say a year ago maybe someone can help or knows something about those issues
1. already opened attachments are not loading after reopening the email client
2. extremly laggy during the aplication start and during the login process of multiple accounts only running smooth after everything is loaded
3. creating folder dont show up like they did in the past on the actual email provider also not showing up below the email account itself as subfolder

They are all terrible. And unless you want to pay to read free email, there are eternally only about 5 choices...and they are all more trouble than they are worth.

It started with me as far back as the 90s, when I used Outlook Express. Well, they turned that simple software into some kind of paid subscription service that you have to eternally pay to use. From there, I spent time with them all...Mailspring, Mailbird, Thunderbird, eclient...and whatever others I am not remembering. In time, every last one of them will start acting up and give you some kind of puzzle to solve which...I simply do not have time for. If you live long enough, given the limited options, you run out of new ones to try that haven't failed you before.

This time, when my Mailspring gave up the ghost, I found the answer that will work...FINALLY!

Go to your web based Gmail. Tell it to "create a shortcut." Directions for that are easy, and easy enough to google up. Put the shortcut it generates wherever you now keep your email icon. Then...

...Go into the settings, and tell gmail to store your email on your local computer. Again, easy enough to find instructions.

Bada bing, bada boom...now gmail itself behaves EXACTLY like an email client. Problem solved. And do not waste time feeling like a dummy. It took me 30 years before I figured this one out.

I had Outlook for about five years and at first I liked it, but since they have changed it so much I now hate it. I have switched to Gmail.

Id pay to get away from the BigTech, whats good a private these days ? problably nothing

Spike has gone down to 1 email on their free tier :(

Isn't this supposed to be a video about 'FREE' email clients ? Simce outlook is free ?

Many today began to think about finding safe messengers. I communicate in the Utopia p2p ecosystem and I believe that in the future there will be only such projects where anonymity is guaranteed.
