Email clients are the programs used to interact with the mail server.

If you are using ProtonMail, then you can use the [ProtonMail Bridge](https://protonmail.com/bridge/thunderbird), to sync your emails to either Thunderbird or Microsoft Outlook. In terms of security, the disadvantage, is that most desktop clients do not support 2FA, so it is important to keep your computer secured, however they are not vulnrable to the common browser attacks, that a web client would be.
**Web** - If you are self-hosting your mail server, you will probably want a web-based email client. [RainLoop](http://www.rainloop.net) and [RoundCube](https://roundcube.net) are both good open source options.

If your mail server is self-hosted, then consider [FairMail](https://email.faircode.eu/) which is a fully featured, open source, privacy oriented email app for Android. There is also [pretty Easy privacy p≡p](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=security.pEp), which has OpenPGP built in. [K-9 Mail](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fsck.k9), which has been around almost as long as Android, has a solid reputation for privacy and security features.
