> Thunderbird is a fully-featured mail app and much more performant than Gmail. TB is great and I use it every day. An argument for it from a performance standpoint is ridiculous on its face. Put 10G of mail in the Inbox and come back to me with measurements. GMail laughs at mere gigabytes.

Gmail takes tens of seconds to start up no matter how much mail you have.

  Verifiably false. Like, this is just trivial to disprove with the "Reload" button in the browser (about 1.5s for me, FWIW). Why would you even try to make that claim?

    Well, that obviously depends on the specs of your computer.
