Nice to see win XP continues to be a supported platform.
Honest question - why? There are kids enlisting in the army now that were born after XP was released.
Does the army accept 16-year-olds?

"It was released to manufacturing on August 24, 2001, and broadly released for retail sale on October 25, 2001."

OpenKeychain is currently the best way to manage PGP keys on any platform. I don't know why there's no good UI for the desktop, Enigmail is a distant second.

It still feels like the 90s software.
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.
I keep using Thunderbird because I haven't found anything better, but it's unbearably slow. I'd gladly jump ship to a better cross platform, featureful, responsive email client, but apparently they don't make these anymore.
Mu4e + emacs is pretty neat and quite zippy
I’ve written an emacs function which opens the mail in firefox, but I’m not really fond of that as every remote content is loaded by the browser. Is there a way to stop that?

It doubles the size of your maildir with the indexing, which is a downside if you're crunched for space, but maybe that gives you an idea for just how much is indexed and how fast you can expect searching to be.
It's fair to say that the most popular interface for it is the emacs interface, which is great if you're already using emacs for mail because your workflow won't change substantially. There are other interfaces available, I have used one called alot [3] and find it to be very good as well.

Try a new profile, vacuuming it, and/or moving ancient mail to separate folders.
Hell, you can search the entirety of the public internet in a fraction of a second, but a few hundred thousand emails locks up your machine for the better part of a minute? Maybe the Rust folks working on parallelism can spend a few sprints giving TB some love.

I’m using this setup too for quite a while now and overall, I’m pretty happy with it. But some HTML mail is barely readable. How do you deal with that?

If you have any suggestions regarding this I'd love to hear it.

I've been using Mailspring for a couple of months now on Linux and it's been a very good experience. I think it's better than Thunderbird if you are more used to webmail clients.
>if you are more used to webmail clients. If you want to use a "webmail" client, wouldn't it be more simple to just open the browser ? Instead of installing a separate copy of chrome to run some js deployed locally ?
