      There are no perfect desktop email clients, but Thunderbird is pretty great.

      It’s a little too powerful for my needs, so I stick to Claws.

        I moved away from a desktop client for several years because of Thunderbird staying stuck in the 2010s, but the redesign brought me back into the fold. It’s certainly overkill for scanning through subject lines, but compared to having five tabs open …

      I must say I’m quite pleased with it too. The previous time I tried it was in 2005 and it was just ok. I also recently found out about the Owl add-on. Really makes it a good alternative
