I'm using Microsoft Mail on my PC, but refuse to upgrade to Outlook due to the ads. I tried upgrading but the number of times I accidentally clicked an add thinking it was an email was beyond irritating. Windows is becoming adware. Office Outlook stopped working for me a couple of years ago. Constant locking up and crashing. I should wipe and reinstall but in the end I just thought "why bother"?
macOS/iOS email client on my apple devices, web email everywhere else. I'm still pining the loss of Eudora.

I use whatever's the latest free Outlook client for Windows 10. Which is much better than its previous built-in client, but that's still not saying much.
Then once every two months or so I'll fire up the "larger" Outlook client (from Office) that I have running on another machine and clean up my inbox with it - meaning, what hasn't already been deleted will get moved to that machine's offline PST.
Which means, my multi-decades worth of conversations is archived locally, where it belongs, and not onto somebody else's mail server.

I have been using emClient (free version) for years and am satisfied with it.

This is the one I settled on. But I paid for it, the free client will only allow 2 accounts. I have 6 or 8 and it does everything Thunderbird would do only faster. Also the calendar integration is great.
Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than master of one.

I hate outlook because it keeps marking my read emails as unread.
I've been using the default windows mail client, which works well enough except when it comes to displaying HTML content in calendar entries (i have to switch to outlook or my web mail to click the links in them.
Unfortunately Windows is retiring it and forcing outlook on people, so i'm in the market for a new client. I'd like it to be lightweight unobtrusive, and seamlessly integrate with windows, notifications and such.
Meh.

try protonmail https://proton.me/mail[^] especially if you value your privacy. They have apps for IOS, Android, Windows and I believe Linux.
One thing I should add, Proton and their suite of apps: mail, calendar, vpn, password manager and cloud storage are all built by scientists and engineers at CERN. I like to know who is behind a company before using their products, and Proton are very upfront about who is running their company. https://proton.me/about[^]

I made the switch to protonmail about 4 years ago
during this time I have only had one unknown email
I buy some woodworking tools from Banggood in China
and just created a non linked additional PM account
they have never spammed me and if that happens I just delete the PM account
I am using the FREE version but I am sure the benefits of the other plans are
worth the price
You can sync your old email accounts with ease

Thunderbird... Ever since OutlookExpress was unsupported (Win8 ?). Just wish the calendar add-in was a bit [lot] more functional.

I use Thunderbird.
Actually Seamonkey browser/email suite but it's the same thing really.
|

I used to use Eudora, great client, good spam filtering & quick. Then Qualcomm made it freeware & then I couldn't get it to install on Win10 so went to Thunderbird.

At work Outlook 365.
At home Outlook connected to german GMX in one PC (for the archive), GMX web interface in the other PCs.
I got a Protonmail account too for testing and doing some staff, and it got deleted due to inactivity because I forgot about it too often.
A couple of throw-away emails providers for online services I do not trust.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I have a vague impression I posted about this a while ago, but couldn't find the thread.
My dad replaced his car with a newer one - not because it was getting old, but because the dealer he bought it from offered him a decent enough amount of money for the year-old one he traded it in for. Keeping up to date with the current year-model made sense.
The car maker has an Android app that gives you access to a bunch of stats and functions, like remotely locking/unlocking the doors, turning on the headlights, opening the trunk, honking the horn, starting the engine, showing its current location on a map, etc.
My dad, not being a smartphone guy, just traded in the car, but didn't reconfigure anything in the car or in the phone app when he did so. I pointed out a few weeks ago that neither did the dealer, or the guy who bought the 'old' car, so his phone was still capable of reporting back how much gas was left in the tank, unlocking the doors, and, well, determining exactly where the new owner lives, or works, or where he happens to be at any moment. Which can lead to nasty stuff if you ask me.
Try as I might, I couldn't even find a place in the app where I could register a new vehicle - let alone removing the old one. I'm not exactly a luddite; I've been earning a living as a software developer for nearly 30 years, and if I can't find what should be a basic option...someone's seriously dropped the ball.
Still, in spite of this, you'd think a dealer selling a used car would do his best to delete any of the previous owner's data, unlink the app from the vehicle, etc...whatever's necessary. But apparently, no. I wouldn't be surprised if the new owner could drive by, and open my dad's garage door as he had it programmed in.
Worse scenario: If the new owner parks it in his garage, connected to his house, one could remotely start the engine every half hour and asphyxiate someone overnight.
It annoys me to no end, knowing these possibilities, that dealers could be so careless. This isn't even a hack, it's working as designed.

Last time I checked in a rental car, I got hassled to get out of the car.
I was poking around the menus trying to find out where to make it forget my phone.
When I found it, there were details of several other people's phones in there too.

Rental, or lease?
I have no idea why anyone would take the time to pair his phone with a rental car.
|
|
|

So you can use Car Play and take hands-free phone calls. It's the first thing I do, especially when I'm in an unfamiliar city. And of course the last thing I do is remove my phone. The rental place can just wait: I'm not handing over the car till all my stuff - including my info - is out of the car.
