Many items listed in the previous thread are not reflective of
what I've seen from Thunderbird users over the years. I haven't
seen much interest in the fact that it's open-source, or taking
messages off the server (I'd bet Gmail is the most popular MSP
among Thunderbird users). A common theme that I see both here
and among users is about <span style="font-weight: bold;">control
and ownership of your email</span>. That applies to the
messages themselves and the experience. The privacy and security
stem from that. You don't have to log into a website, and as a
standalone app, it doesn't matter if you're using Gmail, Yahoo,
Outlook (Hotmail), or whatever. In fact, it's one place where
you can manage all of those accounts, and the interoperability
makes you feel like you're not locked into anything. You can
move messages wherever you want, and set up a UI that fits your
workflow.<br>

I'm very interested in taking messages off the server but only on
one machine and none of my devices. Otherwise a big +1 from me.<br>

Nowhere for me. A calendar? The clock/alarm on my device works for
me. My calendar is secure on paper. RSS is so last century. Chat -
taken over by chatbots.<br>

Love Thunderbird. It is a public good. Heroic stuff. <br>

Signed email is an absolute defence against phishing. This email has
been signed with my private key. If you import my public key you can
automatically decrypt my signature and be sure it came from me. Just
ask and I'll send it to you. Your email software can handle signing.
