I still use email clients. Not sure if that's now considered the old school way of doing things? So the UI doesn't come into it at all.

I'm not sure how much impact the IP address/server of the mail server has on reputation. I know the domain name and its DNS records have somewhat of an impact.

RE email clients, I think in the personal space it's much more common to use the web app these days. I find the inverse is true for the business space. What desktop client do you use, out of interest? I've been a long time commercial Google user but want to move away and will likely switch to a desktop client along with that change

IP address and domain name can both be used for email reputation purposes. If you self host on a cloud provider that isn't strict enough on outbound spam, for example, then you might find your sending IP gets blacklisted by virtue of being in an IP range with spammers.

I use Outlook at work, Mailbird at home, and Nine on my mobile devices.
