Anyone still uses email clients on Windows? What do you recommend?

I hope people have answers to this because 20~ minutes searching the web was not helpful.

(one desktop email app wants you to pay a monthly fee for the privilege of using their app)

My favorite is emclient, but the pro version isn't cheap. Postbox is a Thunderbird fork and inexpensive and quite good, although when I last checked, calendar support wasn't as good as em client's. Thunderbird, I'm guessing, is a known entity.

@Heliodora I’m a Eudora user from the 1990s. Woefully out of date but great from a user perspective. The modern equivalent is Pandora. In my opinion, worth paying the US$14 for the licence. If you just need something for a single account that looks nice, Hiri and Mailbird might suit.

@Heliodora *shrugs* The only one I ever use is outlook.

@Heliodora I use Mailbird. It is very good except when it falls over, which is often enough to be annoying. Some idiosyncracies--most of my "why doesn't it do X?" rants end with discovering that it does do X, it's just not obvious how to do it. Cautious recommend. Try before you buy.
