There's not much in the email clients landscape; almost nothing in Linux, actually. I suppose that this is because nowadays almost all the users read email from web clients.

For me TB just works (especially because I'm locked at the ESR version, 68), however, I've never been extremly happy of it.

"I know I shouldn't stay with them, but they are a good person, and even if they beat me, I just don't know if there are any better options out there."

No offense intended, that's what your comment sounds like.

If you start looking, I bet you will find some options.

There is a variety of desktop mail clients, but the vast majority (of cross platform _and_ open source) is small-ish unkown-ish programs. The plugin system is in my opionion important (like for browsers) functionality, so popularity of a client is a significant factor, in order to have plugins available.

Evolution is possibly the only valid competitor, however, it's not cross-platform as Thunderbird.

I did start looking, and I didn’t find anything’ better. It seems most of the people who cared about local mail clients moved to either:

- online services, which are way worse Re: auto-updates, they do not even ask.

- mail clients with limited HTML support, which are not usable with many online stores I want to use.

Which mail client are you using?
