A genuine question: why is it that most open source email clients have websites that look like they were put together by Tim Berners Lee, as a test of "this web thing"? Here is another one https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

Sylpheed email client: open source, cross-platform, lightweight, user-friendly\ (16 comments). Source: almost 2 years ago

Sylpheed[0] was my favourite e-mail client, of which Claws Mail is a fork. [0] https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

For simplicity as this is a "senior" who is looking for an old fashioned interface maybe try: https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/. Source: about 2 years ago

I had have a little problem recently with the email dates in the app, some emails do not show a date, says "(no date)", or somehow show the date with wrong format, ie, "17-Abr-2021". Tried to look for help in the program page https://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/ but the forums and wiki are full of spam. Source: about 3 years ago

Yes, of course you can. I am aware of this app but I have not yet fully tested it. I know about K-9 Mail too. Also not tested. Source: almost 2 years ago

I agree because I need to test it. I am aware of K-9 Mail and FairMail though. Source: almost 2 years ago

I've rebooted quite a few times. Updated the app too. I don't use a VPN. I installed k9-mail to test and that works without problems. https://github.com/k9mail/k-9. Source: over 2 years ago

On Android the usual recommendations are FairEmail or K-9 Mail. Both are fully open source and privacy focused, it basically comes down to your personal preference. For them to work with your Google Account you will probably have to create an app password. Source: about 3 years ago
