I consider Thunderbird junk if you have a whole lot of stored emails. The things I dislike about Thunderbird are innumerable.
Good to know.
I'd like to learn Mutt and switch to that, but Mutt is tough to use with IMAP and Mutt is very unforgiving of user error.
I'm more retrograde than you. I still use Pine/Alpine. Since the early 1990s. I used to switch MUAs every decade: /bin/mail from 1975. BSD mail from about 1985. The great thing about a terminal based MUA is that you can use it over SSH. But you don't have to. The awkward thing is HTML attachments. Too many of them thise days.
