I'd love to use a non-web-based email client, but I do need it to sync between my devices, including labels, and search to be available over the entire corpus.

I'd love to use a non-web-based email client, but I do need it to sync between my devices, including labels, and search to be available over the entire corpus.
Really surprising to see an article about email clients seemingly ignoring the fact that people have multiple devices. You can set your client however you like, sure, but for most people that's useless if it doesn't work the way you like consistently.
E.g. if my labels show up as clunky folder-ish things, no thank you.
- welterde 4y agoIMAP supports keywords/tags that are synchronized among clients. Wouldn't that work for you?
- remram 4y agoI can do another survey of email clients and see if support is good enough. Last I did, it wasn't. The fact that I am using Gmail today will also be a problem, unless Gmail now uses those tags instead of folders to report its labels.
- leephillips 4y agoI use mutt from my desktops and phone through ssh to my email server running IMAP. (Mutt supports labels.) This way there’s never an issue of synchronization.
