I currently use ThuderBird but I'm very sad about the lack of some basic features (grouping email chains?). I wish someone would make an open source replacement to Mailspring's sync engine. I'd switch to that as soon as available. I just don't like the thought of someone having hidden code touching my email. https://github.com/Foundry376/Mailspring https://github.com/Foundry376/Mailspring

If this means what I think it does, it's provided by the Thunderbird Conversations addon. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/gmail-conversation-view/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/gmail-con...

  I use that but it's a bit of a mixed bag. Works pretty well in general but sometimes it's just incredibly slow, or decides to display a portait image with 100% width in a half-height view, spanning half a dozen screenfuls, instead of doing something reasonable like resizing so that both dimensions fit.

Mailspring is neat. Seems its just SquirrelMail under the hood though plus a web browser to browse the mail? Or was that Nylas N1? I also thought it was open source? I remember back in the days Modest running on Nokia N-series running Maemo. That used a frontend and backend architecture. Why can we not adopt such in the e-mail world? That way, we abstract the data from the clients.
