    It has too crowded a look to listing email. Compare the wide screen view of both. Thunderbird puts all the details on one line, apple uses multiple lines and gives whitespace between mails.

    Thunderbird can do more than Apple Mail, it's stable, the 2023 update has improved the UI a lot, and I can also run it on Windows and Linux.

    I use Outlook and Edison Mail on my mac, and Outlook is just prettier. Both have swipe options, and Outlook is integrated with the outlook calendar and Teams. It can handle multiple accounts, but I decided to separate work and home accounts.
