Hey all, as the title suggests, I am looking for a new email client to utilize on my machines. Although most my devices are now Win10 and Android, I do still toy with Linux. Also, although I sold my Macbook Pro, one may be in the future as I enjoy OS X. I mention this because I'd like something that is platform universal, but that's a desire not requirement.
I do run a myriad of email accounts -- 3 or 4 different Gmail accounts, an old iCloud (me.com) account, a work Exchange account and a university Exchange account.
While most offer a web interface, I don't really enjoy using those interfaces unless I'm traveling and it makes sense for one reason or another. For everyday use, I much prefer using an actual client and having the flexibility to drag/drop files from one account to another as one of my accounts I utilize as an archive of sorts (lots of folders & subfolders) so if things go kaput I always have a backup of important emails.
I'm okay with paying a small fee for the software. I've been using eM Client for my desktops/laptops. The problem is either I have too many emails filtering in or something happens that stuff gets lost. A few times I've tried responding to people associated with this forum and things went awry. I feel like poop that things I thought I responded to quickly are later discovered to NOT been sent or partially sent. Maybe I'm jumping between too many devices and have too many accounts. But It seems like this should be manageable.
When I had my MBP, I used Outlook which was a good deal. The problem with Outlook on Windows is you don't have the UNIFIED inbox where all your emails filter to from various accounts. So to check all your email, you have to jump from account 1 to account 2 and so on and so forth. Blah. This was the primary feature (along with Exchange support) that led me to move to eM Client.
Any tips or suggestions on better software?
