Im actually considering going from thunderbird to gmail, fastmail or outlook The reason is b/c thunderbird doesnt have a good reply monitor,threading for conversations or plugins to handle it. I have to buy things from vendors all the time and manufacturer reps always never do their job properly until I remind them 2 to 5x (not an exaggeration) over the course of 2 weeks. The reason is b/c most are all low tech and cant manage emails. I wish I could just bypass them entirely but its complicated. Sometimes vendors dont use emails like purchasing@company.com and use name@company.com and dont tell me they fired their sales rep and hired a new one. So sometimes my emails go to deadlinks again and thunderbird has no monitoring solution and poor conversation threading. Its becoming a huge hassle for me so I need a better tracking system. Gmail has many integrations for this though on the other hand. I dont know if I care all that much about privacy in all honesty. I am more worried about getting vendor locked through google,so I might set an smtp/imap account with thunderbird for my google emails. The new google gmail is not really that bad in all honesty. It loads slow starting out but it does not bother me though. Some of the view modes make my eyes bleed though UX is beyond atrocious especially with attachments.
