    Strange, neither of them is an email client, but only an app for reading, formatting and sending emails, etc. via some email service provider.
    So what exactly are you looking for - alternative programs and apps that can be used to gather emails (usually copy) in one place to read them there and, if necessary, forward them, reply, etc.
    And if you really have so many of these email service providers and you want to read them all in one place and none of the existing apps are suitable, why not make your own personal or company email server and also own app?
    Personally, I like to read and send emails in the original, that is, on the server where I use the email service. Sometimes I also use, for example, Roundcube Webmail with my own domain and webhost.

    I'll go ahead and use this thread for some questions, but if the staff folks think I've erred and should have started a new thread for this train of thought, I'll fix matters at your request.

    The topic I want to cover is that next month the Google folks are removing our ability to use a basic configuration of a Gmail account. And I am wondering if anyone here has found any ideas whereby they are going to be able to in some odd way keep some sort of configuration of a Gmail account that is similar to what we can presently load using the Google software.

    By the way, the usual Google links we had for so many years to load the basic mode for our Gmail accounts are now gone. But there is a URL for that, if anyone wishes to know it, please ask and I'll post that link here.

    Another interesting point about this change Google is going to initiate next month is how they have sort of kept the whole matter very quiet on their sites. In fact, I was given the sort of scorn treatment their tech helpers are apt to do sometimes when I started pushing for some answers on one of their sites a few months or so ago. I forget where I did the post/thread but I do remember, and have it archived, that the staff folks were quite critical of my attitude that Google should have been more forthcoming about the dumping of the basic. I am sure there are still a lot of people that are not fully aware of what's going to be happening next month. I ended backing off a fair bit ago. Even our private group of tech helpers don't much seem to like communicating with me after they saw my thread asking for some explanations. I used to be one of those folks a number of years ago and we have a sort of special private group of Google tech folks. Well, we used to. Maybe they thought age had mellowed me and I wouldn't make the professionals at Google angry anymore. As some may have noticed in this community, I sometimes have a bad habit of pushing too hard for answers.
