BetterBird for desktop. FairEmail for mobile.

I use the same combo.
I find FairEmail + Fossify Calendar/Contacts + DAVx5 works great on my android.

Exactly the same here. Works great.

I have betterbird on my laptop and Thunderbird on my desktop. Honestly I don't really notice a difference at all.

I am going to have to re read what is different.

For those that are interested here's a featuretable comparison between Thunderbird and Betterbird

That is a long list of things I never noticed. Funny that. I use both often, they seem the same to me, must be features that just dont matter to me.

Same combo, but I'd really like to switch away from BB/TB.

[-] MaddestMax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Same. I haven't found a decent TB/BB replacement yet though. Sad.
