Can anyone recommend a professional, good quality (preferably non MS) email client that isn't thunderbird, please. I'd happily pay.

Canary Mail is great on macOS and iOS. I haven't used it in Windows but it is available.

  Thanks, never heard of it but from wikipedia: "Canary Mail is an email client that offers artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities backed by technology from OpenAI & Cohere, as well as open-source language models from Hugging Face [...] Canary Mail flagship feature, Copilot, leverages artificial intelligence to help users write, summarize, and prioritize emails. The app's free version offers basic features, while the Pro Version, starting at $20 per year, offers additional features, including Copilot" OMG I'd genuinely pay more not to have any of that, ever. I'm afraid CM is not an option, but thank you anyway.

    Oh. I admit I haven't used Canary since right before the AI-mania. It's unfortunate that they went that route for what is an otherwise great product

      NP, all suggestions welcome, thank you anyway!

"The Bat!"? It was very good in POP3 times, then lack proper IMAP4 support for several years, but now authors claim that IMAP4 support is first-class. It is very old (first release in 1997) client with very-very old-skool features, like different templates with multitude of variables (and not only one option "where to place your signature") and rules to apply them (you could have different templates for different correspondents, you have different templates for new message, reply, reply to all and forward, etc, etc, etc). Built-in filters are rather good too, with a lot of automation. But it looks dated, and HTML support is not the best. And there is no manage sieve client. Edit: Windows only.

On macOS, MailMate (https://freron.com https://freron.com). Not pretty (nor free), but surely professional and high-quality.

  Not pretty out of the box but for what it’s worth I’ve got mine set up with my favorite fonts across the board, a customized Monokai Pro color scheme, and a custom widescreen correspondence layout. Not to mention the lovely Bold, Italic, and tag-specific color-highlighting I’ve got going.
