It does most everything wrong.

Just in case nobody noticed.

Father Brown\'s figure remained quite dark and still;
but in that instant he had lost his head. His head was
always most valuable when he had lost it.

I am happy with Thunderbird. Tracks usenet and emails just fine.

It isn\'t perfect, but it is far closer than MS Outlook or Apple Mail!

I use it as a client to gmail - works seamlessly, and I\'ve had no issues over 10+ years. YMMV as they say...
Have had \'lookout\' (aka outlook) corrupt .pst file on 3 different machines. Dead in the water. If you use it, back up .pst files as often as necessary.

Ugg, someone said Teams? \"Be afraid, be very afraid\"

I used to user T-bird for newsgroups until it crapped out in a way I could not fix (it crapped out a few times before that I did manage to fix). I switched to Seamonkey, a close cousin using the same code base and had a repeat experience. I think it was related to the size of the archive on the hard drive. I have tons of old emails I search on occasion, so I\'m sticking with Eudora. It may not be pretty by today\'s standards, but it works and keeps working on everything I\'ve had from Win 95 to Win 10! Never lost an email!

I used Eudora until a few years ago when my service provider insisted on using an
encryption standard that Eudora didn\'t support. I now use Thunderbird (on Linux Mint Mate).
However, when my wife wanted to upgrade computers I discovered that there has been a
recent patch for Eudora which supports more recent encryption, so she is still using it.

Once, long ago, Thunderbird became very slow for me, so I
switched to SeaMonkey.

My largest folder contains 4GB and 35k messages, and works
very well. The most I have to do is very occasionally
\"Repair Folder\" to ensure the three views are in sync.

A *major* advantage is that seamonkey/thunderbird uses the
good old mbox format. Thus if I ever want to switch
away, I can use the same files with a different email client.

None of this locked into a single client rubbish :)

Long ago Eudora pissed me off because it *grossly* mishandled attachments.
It stripped them out and kept them in a separate directory with the
attachment\'s name.

Yes, if two email messages has attachments \"untitled.doc\", only one
was retained!

https://www.emclient.com/ isn\'t perfect either but I haven\'t found anything
better if you want an installed client which can handle many different email
addresses.
