I’ve not used an email client in about 10 years. I used to use Thunderbird but overall web UIs have made things far easier, more featurefull, and more supported. I’m happy Thunderbird still gets updates but I don’t see a world where I use it.

It makes a lot more sense if you have multiple emails. Especially emails with numerous aliases.

Yeah I use 3 emails on 3 different domain servers which means opening 3 tabs and being redirected to portals on all of them

I find it useful to have offline access to email.

I’m so happy that Thunderbird is finally getting a modern redesign.

Installed, it’s great and all but thunderbird feels a bit busy for me. I prefer geary, but thunderbird does work better with my small laptop screen so I may keep it on the portable

I left Thunderbird ultimately because of dwindling O365 support. How is it now? My work and school emails are all O365, because evidently companies think Microsoft is the only option.

Works OK when using the paid (small yearly sub) Owl plugin. But I can’t see my colleagues shared calendar, which means I’ll have to stop using it in favour of either Outlook or eM Client.
