I use Mailspring (has both MacOS and Windows version).

Check out Elementary OS, I love their default email client. It's very close to the OS X Mail app if you liked that one.
Try Kiwi for Gmail. I liked it enough that I paid for it. It uses a browser, so it has the standard Gmail tricks, but it has its own UI so you don't have a million browser tabs open.
The M1 Macs are impressively capable at video editing:

So I bought a Dell gaming machine, for the GPU.
First impressions from the week:
* Windows is still pretty kludgy.
* There are no good Gmail cients for Windows (settled on eM, but it crashes a lot, on macOS I used Mailplane, Mimestream and Outlook; Outlook on windows doesn't automatically connect to Google Calendars, even though the macOS and iOS versions do).
* The Dell came with a terrible keyboard, I'll have to buy a better one. It didn't come with speakers, so I bought some (I was planning to get reference monitors anyway, but having NO sound for a few days was interesting). It doesn't have a webcam, which is fine, but I'd have to buy one if that becomes important.
* The cables, cables, cables.
* I can use the Phone app to connect to my iPhone, and iCloud on Windows works well enough (for Drive and Photos).
* Windows apps don't adhere to the design guidelines nearly as consistently as macOS apps do. Fonts and usability is far more varied.
I will see about dual-booting Linux, and I'll see about getting Davinci Resolve working.
