Well, then, maybe they should stop using email.  After all, that protocol
goes back to at least 1975.

 
Most people use a website for email, and Gmail/Outlook.

I cannot image the kind of supremely doltish moron that would actually
use web mail.  It is extremely sluggish, awkward, and frustrating.  One
has to actually log in with 2-factor authentication.  Then Gmail, with
its nanny algorithms, keeps shoving messages of advice and warning into
ones face.  Futhermore the whole interface looks like shit.  It is a
totally irritating mess!.

Give me wonderful Sylpheed, the absolute best email client anywhere.
It is built on GTK+2 (not +3) and it is quick, slick, and a supreme joy
to use.  Nothing could ever be better.

I use Claws-Mail, which was from a fork of Sylpheed.  I chose Claws-Mail
for its usable GPG intergration.  On my laptop, I just use mutt, which I
almost prefer to Claws-Mail.  Almost.

Agree with you on web based mail.  My first experience with personal
email WAS web based, because I used hotmail, but when I got an accunt
with an ISP, obviously a mail client was superior, and still is.  Even
more so because I think web based clients are WORSE now than they were
20+ years ago.  Confusing, slow, janky, awkward ergonomics.
