    I’ve been using Thunderbird as my daily driver for a while now.

    • Great automation and filtering. -10$/year add-on for a complete MS suite interop for work.
    • Customized the theming.
    • Tracker blocking.
    • Calendars
    • First class Linux support

    It’s just as good as every other email client but without them reading it. :)

      Can you elaborate more on the add-on, what’s it called? I just started using Thunderbird again but at the moment only for my personal addresses.

      How does the tracker blocking work? It blocks remote content by default, but does it block tracking pixels when I load images? I also installed the ublock origin addon, but it keeps saying that it didn’t block anything

        By not downloading anything except text and Html the sender can’t tell whether you opened it or not. However, pressing tracked links will track you if you don’t have some privacy thingy on your browser.

          Ah okay. I was thinking of something like in Tutanota and Proton Mail, where you can load images but block trackers anyway.
