I keep trying to use not-Gmail, but it still Just Works (my most recent serious foray was Evolution, but I've also tried Thunderbird, mu4e inside of Emacs, and a few other TUI ones).
Not having to worry about syncing, search being excellent, Gmail doing the right thing with linebreaks and word-wrapping and threading, Google Calendar integration, snoozing, the "add attached photo to Google Photos" button. It all works fine and is hard to give up.
- PascLeRasc 3y agoGmail also just works for me, and Fastmail did not. After FM killed two job interview cycles by not RSVPing to calendar invites I came to the realization that it would be unethical in the efficient altruism sense for me to not use Gmail.
- philote 3y agoI'm curious how long ago your Fastmail experience was. I've been using it lately and haven't had any issue with RSVPs (at least that I know of). I also often see people who don't RSVP to anything, so I'm surprised interviewers would see that as an issue.
- PascLeRasc 3y agoAbout a year ago.
- hotcoffeebear 3y agoI am using gmail client mostly but also keep copy of my emails on Evolution in case google erase my account.
