>Performance doing what? Email has several operations and none of these clients are performant at scale. Well OK, so the most important for me is search, and the second most important is being able to quickly apply labels based on filters on a bulk-scale. I have found mutt to not really be performant and the workflow that I achieved was rather brittle (complicated by other factors like having to deal with HTML email). I'm currently using Gmail, but I am experimenting with outlook and I quite like the performance. I don't have a ton of email, maybe around 3-4GB, 25K emails. Bulk operations like 'select all' - do X on several thousand emails takes seconds (which is still slow IMHO FWIW). I haven't seen such performance with other clients. Granted, I haven't broken down every single client and benchmarked different workloads, so I'm only speaking in generalities. And don't worry about offending me. I was just trying to stir up some conversation. I don't take offense if someone disagrees with me on the internet.
