Have you considered the SeaMonkey mail reader? It may be to your liking.
I know a few who swear by it

#35I'm a major fan. I self host email, contacts, calendar, and Thunderbird is essential in my workflow.
Only issue is that the task descriptions don't render HTML and with all the crazy zoom meeting invites it is ugly. HTML in caldav is not standard but I would like the option since its a thing these days.

#40Finally dark mode! Some Windows only add-ons could do it. But now Mac and Linux can too
Every time I hear about this recent "dark mode/light mode" fad I am reminded of a time when most software would use the OS's native and fully colour-customisable UI which let you have dark mode[1], light mode[2], rainbow mode[3], and everything in between[4], consistently across all applications with basically zero effort on the part of the application developers .
