I've been using #Brave and #DuckDuckGo in preference to #Firefox for a few years because FF wasn't performant for the number of tabs I like open, even on desktop, and terrible for some sites on my cheap mobile.

But now it is time for me to uninstall, and I'm looking for an alt to #Thunderbird too which I've used for longer than I remember.

Well done #Mozilla. 👏

@happyborg on Linux, Evolution is a good replacement for thunderbird.

For android, FairEmail is very good although not as polished.

@happyborg @chrisdoestech The Firefox Terms of Use do not apply to Thunderbird or any other products, e.g. Appointment or K-9 Mail. We hope you stay with us!

@thunderbird

Indeed, but based on the way it has degraded in recent years I have lost trust in the app and those deciding on priorities. Just as I did Firefox before. Taking K-9 over, which was perfect, just means I can't ever update it.

As a user I want control, and this is one of the things all of those points undermine - for me.

Others may care less. But every time I make one of these decisions it has proven right, sometimes years later, sometimes sooner.
