I have installed gentoo on my new notebook, the old one is gone - with ALL datas! So i also need a eMail Client. I use Thunderbird before, but i got some issues: the profile was old, sometimes i got problems with the pop3 authentification and if i search for a eMail it doesn't show me the directory of the eMail. So maybe i want to use another one, like kMail / Evolution / SeaMonkey or others.
Someone got the adress book syncroned with nextcloud? Which one do you prefer and why?

Hello,

Your issue seems to be that old profile.

Maybe it's time to start a new and fresh one, connect your mailbox to it and it's done ?

Or maybe because it's POP3 (someone still using that…?).

Then I guess you could re-import all of them into a new profile.

In the end, the only MUA that please me is Thunderbird.

Regards,

Happy user of kmail here. :D However, I can't say anything about synchronization with nextcload (since I don't have it). I do also POP3 ... no problem.

I;m on evolution, it is not terrible, but it could be better. Still, last time I've been looking for a replacement I ended up with a conclusion that I'd have to it myself to have it done the way I want it.
I miss Disconnected IMAP which used to be a thing, AFAIR nothing supported gmail's labels properly either, and I had a bunch of other complains I can't remember right now.
At least the GUI is reasonably designed in terms of convenience, though it is gnome-ugly too.

Using Claws with POP3 and 2 email accounts on different providers. The only issues I have are the poor support of POP3 at one provider. Claws is maybe a bit old fashioned but it is simple. It was also reasonably easy to migrate everything from setup to setup.
