+# aerc-mail [console]
+Other than it apparently doesn't have PGP support this terminal client is excellent, like mutt, and being made by SourceHut is a quality proof to be fair.
+
+# Alpine [console]
+Turns out I've took some time to set it up and running with IMAP on this client.
+It also supports NNTP which is a nifty feature so I can browse (and post to) newsgroups.
+
+# Claws Mail [graphical]
+I used this one as my default email client, it perfectly fits my needs on a minimal graphical environment, it even has good OpenPGP support and I appreciate that. I recommend this client for day-to-day use.
+
+Update #1: as of 4.x it now uses GTK+3 for the GUI and that made it look really weird. 
+Update #2: Fortunately I can still use the 3.x version which uses GTK+2.
+
+# Evolution [graphical]
+This is GNOME's view on an email client, which is more like Thunderbird, but looks apparently better than Mozilla's client. 
+By far it's seconded by Claws on my rating. Good one I guess
+
+# mutt [console]
+My default email client on a non-graphical environment, besides from aerc-mail, it also perfectly suits my needs, also, it has Vim-like keybindings so it's kind of a godsend to be fair. 
+Excellent client, also has OpenPGP support.
+
+# (neo)mutt [console]
+Couldn't ever get used to this client, despite it being backwards-compatible with mutt, never got it to load mutt's default .muttrc because of some syntax errors specific to neomutt, while in mutt it just worked as-is, weird.
+
+Update #3: Actually, on second thoughts, configuring it isn't so difficult (both the .neomuttrc and the .muttrc are similar in syntax, but have their differences)
+
+# Sylpheed
+I currently use this client on my host as a replacement to Claws, it's equallly as good though it seems unmaintained on upstream. It doesn't have as many features like Claws has, but it just works.
+
+Update #4: I don't use this one anymore, returned to Claws. However, I may consider it again sometime
+Update #5: I don't use graphical clients anymore, because I do practically everything inside a console
+
+# Thunderbird [graphical]
+I once used this client, but as with anything, Mozilla ruins everything at its sight, and so it did with this client. 
+How saddening. Never touched it again.
