I really do like Thunderbird. It's such a great email client, and having actual local software feels like such a rare thing these days. I think my favourite features are
- local folders, so I can store email actually where I want (and sync it into Nextcloud… but that's another story); and
- one-button automatic annual archiving (select emails, hit `a`, and they're moved to year-named folders on my local disk).
The one thing I don't like at the moment is that I can't easily switch to Maildir (from Mbox) as the storage format. I've only ever, in 22 years of paying attention to this sort of thing, had a problem. But that did annoy me, that one time that I got a corrupted email folder! (Actually, I haven't really looked at the state of Thunderbird's Maildir support recently, so I'm probably way out of date on this.)
