I have been using KDE for a while, while I like many features I am looking for suggestions to the default email client:
Kmail - completely unusable for me and the only one which could maybe be integrated with kontacts, it could not receive mails from IMAP or pop or would receive only sometimes
Geary - good but too minimal, I need at least some kind of contact list and mailing lists feature, maybe this integrates with gnome contacts? I couldn’t find anything in settings
Try Betterbird.
Damn these guys are very passionate about how shitty thunderbird is
That is the correct answer
There is always good old Thunderbird.
According to the official fediverse account of Thunderbird, they are not going to adopt the new Firefox EULA.
I’ve used Thunderbird since forever as my go-to client, I used mutt as well for a while and that met my needs pretty well.
Thunderbird
It is bot the most feature rich and the most annoying thing, but it works
If your into Linux and a decent admin. Nothing is better than neomutt. Add not much.
Filtering and searching is faster than Google on gigs of mail.
It will take a long time to configure it well. But it’s worth it. I rarely change the config.
I have been using Linux since 1992.
I can’t wait to poke around neomutt when I set up my computer

Kmail, Thunderbird, Evolution. That’s pretty much it.
There’s always some weird niche client somewhere but it won’t be a hidden gem. Although I guess you can always use Pine (or rather Alpine nowadays) if you want to appear ubergeeky.
Every time I look around for a new mail client I come back to thunderbird. Nothing else ticks all the boxes
Claws mail
I use alpine when I want a text client, Thunderbird when I want graphical.
Mailspring
No one has mentioned the command line: aerc
I use it and it’s very minimal and clean.
I use

thruhome-manager
accounts on NixOSevolution
I use evolution and it’s great even on kde

I personaly use the power of neomutt and notmuch, but it’s not a GUI option if that’s what you’re looking for.
