I use thunderbird, though it really feels like it has terrible performance for me. Feels like a really heavy program for just an email client.

Still better than having ads on your client.

    Thunderbird is great for me. I've used it for near on twenty years, and it flies compared to Outlook, especially for searching.

    Very fast for me as well. I just launched it to check, and it took just a second or two to cold launch it.

    Takes a few more seconds to refresh and get new messages. I think it's actually faster than checking my email in browser, especially since one of my email addresses is the Yahoo! account I created in the 1990s and use for junk subscriptions.

    That new design update definitely made the performance worse. And it looks pretty much the same anyways. Wish I could just revert it to the old one.
    What sucks the most is Dark Reader. Previously it worked fine for emails, but now it always takes a second to load. I'll never forgive the thunderbird devs for this "update".
