Neither outlook nor thunderbird. Best option would be some web browser based email + local web server (on board)

Browsers are heavy and complicated. Better to use something TUI or very light GUI.

If the computer has a browser, yes. Otherwise, that sounds like a lot of unnecessary moving parts.

Why go through all that trouble to reinvent SMTP? Outlook is trash, but the web is even worse.

A modern browser is much more complicated and heavier than the old Outlook, and probably the latest Outlook too.
