What Thunderbird Learned at FOSDEM

I also came here to write about K9. It's open source, it works well, it supports encryption (with the OpenKeychain app). I don't have much more to ask to it. I don't think it's worth investing on a mobile Thunderbird but to be fair, I'm pretty happy with desktop Thunderbird too. They could stay in maintenance mode and make sure that it keeps running on any new OS version it's released.

If I can wish for something, fix this bug from 2009 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/3... (but originally from 2007)

I have a similar sentiment towards Thunderbird. Every once in a while I try using other Linux desktop clients but I always go back to Thunderbird. Feature-wise I don't miss anything. My biggest problem are various long-standing bugs and occasional crashes. Each time it crashes I wonder whether that is something that might be exploitable by a specially-crafted email.

For me, Mailspring (successor of Nylas N1) works, but it does use Electron... (Therefore IMO not suitable for mobile, but I wasn't suggesting that either way.)
