I have to confess, I was really ready to give up and simply use the old webmail and learn to live with it, however, I gave a last shot on my research capabilities and I found a possible solution: what if I had a way to put a “man in the middle”? What if I was able to make the IMAP to run locally on my computer while my computer simply pull the emails via Exchange protocol? It was a long shot but, could work…
No IMAP, no Office365, game over? Not yet! However, Mailspring couldn’t connect directly to an Exchange server (using Exchange’s protocol) unless you use Office365, it required IMAP (another luxury!) and the IT department at my office was reluctant to activate IMAP for “security reasons”. These were: Hiri, which had a very modern and innovative user interface and had Exchange Server capabilities and there also was Mailspring which is a fork of an old foe ( Nylas Mail) and which was my real favorite. Found some options as email clients!Īfter some other research I found there were a couple of options for email clients that I could use and that actually would work the way I expected.

All of these are capable of being connected to Exchange servers (one way or the other) but again, they don’t meet the standard of a clean, easy and modern GUI I wanted plus they couldn’t even manage my Exchange calendar well (which was a real deal breaker for me). This leads me not liking Thunderbird, K-9 or Evolution Mail clients. I actually use the webmail as I don’t like to be tied to my email client or even my computer device, if something happens and I need to switch to a newer device I don’t want to have to copy things over, I just want things to be there waiting for me to use them. I am a regular Google user, I have been using GMail for the past 14 years as my personal email, so I really like how it looks and works. Another problem, I am picky for my email client
