Thunderbird/Betterbird?
I should re-iterate I download the emails to use in an offline client. Their service doesn't support third party clients to receive and send email.
When I do taxes, I need to search thousands of emails for receipts and the tuta apps make this impossible. This is my workaround.
Right, so I'm wondering what client that is.
My bad. Its been a while, but Thunderbird at one point. If I remember right there was an update relatively recently that made it much more difficult to import offline emails, so if you find a better alternative let me know.
Hmm, I wonder if Betterbird has solved that problem... I've actually only ever used webmail as I didn't understand the benefit of a desktop platform—until these (increasingly) privacy-invasive times!
Tuta does not allow you to use third party email clients like Thunderbird.
