Web based only here. I have multiple address though so the "client" varies. Outlook, gmail, Proton.

Every time I try a different email client (on the desktop) I always go back to Thunderbird within a few days. Within the last few months I've grown to love a T-bird fork called "Betterbird" which seems a lot snappier and more responsive than the "official" bird.
Although my main one is gmail, I have been using proton mail for a while and I'm getting to point where I trust it for most stuff and I will start to move non-critical stuff away from gmail.

Also using outlook. I can say for certain there are some bugs with IMAP email accounts, but other than that it has been working well for me for years.
The only thing I don't like about it (other than the IMAP bugs) is the notification sounds that are exactly the same as my work mail on PC. I get jittery whenever I hear those sounds.
I manage my e-mails with Blackberry Hub. (On a Fold 4).
It's not amazing, but works well enough.
Apple Mail on Mac and iPhone, because it’s simple and it works well.
Since google threatened to end legacy gsuite accounts I ended up migrating my email to another service (Namecheap).
Because of that I also had to use different email clients.
Desktop - emClient (prefer this to Thunderbird)
Android - Spark
Both work pretty well for me so far.
Twobird
I've been using Spark and remained using it especially now that they have a desktop client it's just so clean.
Thunderbird on desktop, fairemail on android.
Work Desktop: Microsoft Outlook Work Mobile: Microsoft Outlook Home Desktop: mail.google.com Home Mobile: GMail android app
Why? Because I was on Proton personally for a long time but got frustrated with the lack of features and also my wife and I rely heavily on shared groupware stuff like calendars and reminders, so we switched back to Google Mail. Once Proton is a bit more feature-rich, we'll take a look at it again.
Thunderbird on the desktop; K-9 Mail on Android.
Spark on both Android and Win. The AI integration is surprisingly useful, albeit I think a paid feature. I also personally like the look of the clients and they are pretty fully featured.
I'm clinging to BlackBerry Hub+ because unfortunately I have not yet found an alternative that does the multi inbox (+ texts, signal, ...) on the same level.
no client - firefox containers for when I'm forced to use gsuite (work stuff) so I can keep different gmail tabs open without cross contaminating the cookies. And ProtonMail for personal (also in its own container).
I am with Google Workspace, so most of the time I would use the website, but if I had to use something, it would be Thunderbird on Desktop and Spark on Mobile.
Protonmail + Duckduckgo's email service, which links to a preexistent email (proton in my case) and allows you to clear trackers from emails and to use randomly generated email adresses.
Edit: only now realized that you asked for client, welp, I use proton's client, but I've been considering using thunderbird lately
Just remember what the Magic 8-ball says when you drink the water inside it… "Outlook is not good!"
Really, though, I know the 'me' of about 20 years ago would be shocked to hear this, but the whole Microsoft suite with Outlook is pretty comfortable to run and use. I use it when hosting websites for my business, and it's always worked how I needed it.
Beyond that, I used Thunderbird for years and that's my go-to client when I want to go free. It's easy to set up and people usually love using a Mozilla product.
I am with Google Workspace, so most of the time I would use the website, but if I had to use something, it would be Thunderbird on Desktop and Spark on Mobile.
On desktop I stick to the wonderful (for Gnome users, at least) @Geary.
On Android K-9 is fantastic, but regrettably I'm currently using the stock Gmail app because I had trouble setting up my Office365 work email. :(
on desktop I use eM Client. On Android I was using just plain GMail but I saw people in this comment section using other stuff so I checked it out and swapped to FairEmail.
edit: FairEmail is fantastic and I've upgraded to pro. Definitely recommend this one for mobile users with multiple email accounts.
Used to use Thunderbird but I wanted something that just looked like it was from this century. I like how eM Client works and its features and it looks nice. I don't like that I am limited to 2 email accounts though. I'd love something like it that is FOSS and allows more email addresses.
Gmail on mobile.
Thunderbird on the desktop. I keep TB running all the time to do filtering. Google filtering is lacking.
I use thunderbird cause I saw the new logo and thought it was cool.
Tried Fair mail and k-mail and they are ok... Liked Outlook but came back to Gmail since it can't be removed from the device anyways..
Not exactly just a client but a client and a service: HEY from 37signals (formerly Basecamp).
I've been using it for a year and a half and I really love it.
