What Mail client are others using in MX-Linux?

I'd rather not use Thunderbird, so I was wondering what others use/recommend for MX?
I am coming from windows using outlook (both online and the 365 version on local) so something that can connect with that. Thunderbird can use outlook, but as I wrote I'd rather not use it if possible.
Thanks

I just use web clients, but I think evolution is pretty complete as well.

Yeah using the web is ok as I can just go straight to the app, but entering the password all the time is a pain! I'll check out evolution thanks

How secure is it?
Thunderbird only gets a moderate rating, I was looking for something a bit higher if poss.
EDIT: It's not available in synaptic so as a new Linux user, it might be safer to avoid at this stage (as in I don't want to break anything I cannot fix haha!). Evolution is in Synaptic so I might try that.

Always check MX Package Installer first when installing something. That takes care of a lot of things on its own that Synaptic installs don't.
