> “Why does Thunderbird look so old, and why does it take so long to change?” If it works...

  For me it doesn't really work. Searching any large folder completely stalls the UI for a few seconds. How can it be so slow to go through a bit of text?

    I never had that issue... and my .thunderbird folder is ~15gb. Sorting the email (eg. by size) takes a few seconds though, but i don't do that often. Compared to eg. gmail (web interface), i find the speeds comparable, with the added benefit of having my emails offline (too).

    That's nothing to do with how it looks or why the UI stalls. That's a problem with the search. Just fix the search.

    The filter on a single folder is not slow and never stalls the UI. Caveats: I'm on Linux, maybe my large folders are not so large, if it stalls for you it's probably stalling for many more people with similar setups.
