All right, I gotta ask.

Are there any fellow Windows users out there who actually use e-mail services other than one of the web-client-based ones? What do you use for a mail client in Windows? I'm presently using FossaMail, a no-longer-developed fork of Thunderbird, and while it works well enough for now, I'm wondering if it's time I moved to something else, but I don't know just what is worth moving to.

@ElectricKeet I'm still using regular Thunderbird, and it's... functional for what I need it for. I could never quite get used to web interfaces. Too many things already /are/ just web pages these days.

@emanate I'm okay with web interfaces, but I'm really looking for something that'll let me get at my own IMAP server on Prisma – you know, where my electrickeet.com addresses are. If there's a nice, simple "download this, run these two or three commands, connect to this URL, Bob's your uncle" web client for IMAP, I could see dropping my native e-mail client altogether. I mean, I don't use the native clients for Telegram or Slack 'cause they work just fine or better in my browser!
