For those who host their own email, which email client do you prefer?

Question

There's an Ask HN whether people host their own email [0]. I host my own email using Mail-in-a-box [1] for my secondary domain and am planning to move my primary domain there as well. However, I've not found a good email client till now (having been spoilt by Gmail!)For other email hosters - which is your preferred email client?I would like something which had configurable keyboard shortcuts and a fairly good UX.I don't know why, many desktop and mobile email client applications look a bit dated to me![0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34117386[1]: https://mailinabox.email/

Mail hosting and mail client aren't strongly related. I host my own MTA and POP3 mailbox, and happen to read that mail box (and all my other mail accounts) with my macOS mail client. I have been through a lot of MTAs, mailbox handlers and mail clients over the years.

Thunderbird is decent enough for me. It's easy to use it to back up my email and store multiple copies offline on SSD drives. I encourage others to use it as it makes GPG encrypting emails very easy even for non technical people in my experience.

Thunderbird is good. The UI can be improved, but it has support for encryption, etc.
