It still feels like the 90s software.
Thunderbird is still the best crossplatform, multi account mail client around. Everybody migrated to webmail, but for those old grumps of us who still have multiple email accounts, and maybe even follow some newsgroups, tb is still the best player in town. Thanks tb team for your work! I love you all!
> Everybody migrated to webmail That is so far from the truth it isn’t even funny. Outlook reigns in corporate and phones have native clients. Hell, i am still waiting for POP3 to die.
I'm using the default mac client. Is thunderbird better?

Not the OP but yes, and Clawsmail. Still keep coming back to Thunderbird. There are so many useful add-ons it's hard to leave. And add-ons are easier to write.
What add-ons do you use regularly?
I'll have to give it a shot, but the last time I used thunderbird it was unusably slow at pretty much everything. Compacting my folders would help for a day or two, and then it'd basically become unresponsive for 30s or more with any user input. I hope they focus on performance in coming revisions.

This may or may not help, but ex. mutt lets you read HTML mail by running it through lynx/elinks/w3m [0], and I've had great success with this in a mostly-Outlook environment. I expect you could do the same thing with other clients. [0] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mutt#Viewing_HTML
Mutt is terrible for imap on a laptop, it hangs and loses changes when the connection dies. Or has this been fixed?

I don't know if it's been fixed, but I recommend pointing mutt at an offline copy of your mail instead of directly at an IMAP server. Use isync or another program to sync your mail.
