https://email.faircode.eu FairEmail is what I use on mobile, with https://K9mail.app also being a good option.

In FairEmail, one of the things I appreciate is that clicks always first give you a pop-up with the link target. Maybe a nuisance to some (I'm sure you can turn that off), but I never worry to accidentally tap something and triggering the "user has read the email" tracking. It also makes me doubly appreciate the handful of organisations (like Freedom Internet) that use bare links; those are satisfying to click

FairEmail is extremely good. It even does PGP in a pretty reasonable way. After a couple weeks, the $6 "unlock everything" purchase was a no-brainer.
Gmail, mostly via the Android client, sometimes still the web UI.
Web App is more convenient for me. Especially the times when I am using public computers.
Other dedicated client: KMail
Sometimes the K9 email client on Android, when I want to read email on Android.
Claws, and Wanderlust in emacs.

I like mutt for its snappiness and usability with keyboard only. And it makes it so easy to invoke vim as the default editor.
Thunderbird with a side of Evolution.

Previously (al)pine.

While I use Apple Mail full-time, I wish I could use Pine or mutt instead. Office 365 and needing to keep a calendar makes this very difficult, however.
