Can I ask why people still use dedicated email software? I’m sure there’s a reason. Maybe just familiarity, but I’ve never once opened my email inbox from anything other than a browser. It seems like a royal PITA.
if you have more than one email account, then one of these applications becomes critical. Also, in all the years thunderbird has been out it’s UI/UX has gone largely unchanged unlike the microsoft and google browser clients that seem to change every few years
I can see the use case for gmail at least. I tried to access web interface from India and it loaded like for 2 solid minutes before showing up completely unresponsive. I could have had it 10 times faster with a dedicated IMAP client.

Thunderbird is pretty neat tho
I don’t disagree, but I don’t use it either.

It’s odd, since they used to have a rather nice HTML web interface specifically for low-peformance devices, but it’s since gone away.
Do they not have the thing you can click to go to that while you’re loading anymore? Wack
