I’ve been using email providers' own Electron webby-style apps (Proton and Fastmail) on my fresh Linux install, to see if there’s any benefit to using dedicated apps over a full client (spoiler - none that I can see, really). They’ve been fine, but Gmail, for which I still also have an active account, doesn’t have a dedicated app for Linux that I know of, so I’ve been using Gmail in the browser. It’s basically horrible now with its excessively predictive text, which I find distracts me from my own formulations and thoughts way too much.
Time to switch back to a proper, traditional client like Thunderbird, where I can think, make my own mistakes and, through the discipline of re-reading before sending, correct them and reformulate other sentences that could cause uncertainty or confusion in the reader.
A bit like a blog post, really.
