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.
There’s no money in email clients.
Mu4e + emacs is pretty neat and quite zippy
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?

You're correct. You copy the profile folder and set the default profile startup to be the one you copied (I think this was in the profile.ini file) and it is if you never left. I this this between mac, linux, and windows machines and it functioned perfectly every time including add-ons, settings, filters, and themes.
What OS did the profile start on?
I copied my profile from Windows to Mac, and everything is fucked up. Because of the different line ending characters, as far as I can tell.

Try a new profile, vacuuming it, and/or moving ancient mail to separate folders.
Poor answers to performance problems like this is the number one reason why Firefox lost so much market share to Chrome. Until Mozilla and friends pay attention to user pain, no amount of "creating a new profile" will improve the situation. 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…
