I was very fortunate to have a conversation with him a few years ago. We talked a bit about his journey and a bit about his hacks, his setup, and of course a lot about Linux:
Go home professor, you are drunk :D
But if you are in a, say consultant role, where quicker email responses to clients, html support, MS Word like highlighting, then this is not it.
Most Google's Cloud Services have been very flaky and inconsistent.
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.
I feel I get a bigger bang for buck for Work Email on Outlook Exchange since Email on mu4e makes me less distracted.
