@Madchatthew A simple PWA would probably suffice in the meantime
Which email client do you use?

@DownPW I’ve just started looking at Mailbird for my own personal usage. I have several accounts, so would need a Premium license (wouldn’t you know it’s the most expensive). Whilst I like the concept, do I like it enough to pay the somewhat inflated costs…
A conumdrum.
I don’t know, I can’t help you much with that. It’s one of the rare licenses that I actually pay for. In any case, for my part and the use I make of it with multi-accounts, I like it.
But i have not test with VPN !!

@DownPW mailbird, like virtually every other email client works fine behind a VPN. It seems eMClient is the exception, but trading in or sacrificing any level of security in the name of a software package is a non starter in my view.

Would make me not even want to use their email client.
Absolutely enough to put me off also.

Circling back here - admittedly, with my tail between my legs. I’ve been through literally every single email client I can think of, and whilst Outlook works, it doesn’t have a unified mailbox (although the Android and iPhone versions do), and this is something of a show-stopper for me.
Years ago, when I had only one email account to manage, life was simple and you could use webmail without issue. However, times do change, and I’m now in a position where I need to monitor numerous accounts constantly, and flipping between webmail apps is not an option anymore.
I don’t have time to scan through multiple inboxes either, and so would need a unified mailbox. I tried Canary Mail, and this also does not work if you have the VPN running locally on the machine - same as eMClient.
I’ve installed eMClient again, and stopped the machine level VPN (my preference), but enabled the browser extension so at least my internet activity is secured, but I can still use the app. I know this goes against all the principles I raised earlier, but the app is superior in every way, and easily the best I’ve found so far. Besides, I’d have to disable the VPN at machine level for the push notifications to work, as I’ve mentioned here

I stumbled across a mail client called Edison last night. It’s really well written with a great design, has a unified mailbox, and is extremely quick. I’ve installed this on my Android device, and there’s also a version for Windows.
It’s completely free, and I’d strongly encourage you to give it a try
It also has several AI enabled components by default and goes well beyond the free barrier. There is also a “plus” offering which is paid for, but that does not impose any restrictions on the app’s functionality.

oh yes very good. I will test it
-
@phenomlab Very nice, I will have to check that out as well
-
@phenomlab looks smart! Would this work with my Proton email accounts?
-
I wonder if they are going to make a linux version of this?
-
@JAC i expect so, but haven’t tried myself.
-
@Madchatthew I wondered the same. The windows version, although great does seem to lack some functionality in comparison to the mobile client.
Clearly it’s developed as mobile first, and that makes sense. I think the windows version is still evolving and will improve over time, but it’s already extremely capable in its current format.
There’s a mac version so perhaps a Linux client is on the horizon.
