This sentence is either missing a negation or correlates "bang" with
"distraction", which is wrong since "bang" is positive and "distraction" negative.
You are right, scratch that and I will try this again. I meant to say:
I have configured and used mu4e on a GMail account and another account hosted on Microsoft Exchange Server (MSE).
The Linux based email client I had tried before mu4e for MSE account are:
* WebMail (Outlook's less capable younger cousin on a browser)
* a slew of Linux UI email clients like Thunderbird etc.
I disliked all of them equally. However, using mu4e for emails with Outlook/MSE account makes doing emails less painful and less distracting. However, using mu4e as a mail client for Google accounts may not be preferable if you have bought heavily into the Google ecosystem. I have had trouble with things like Google API authentication on Emacs.
