Regarding the third point. you are no longer required to have Mailspring ID for sometime now.

For me, what actually makes me not using it is because it does not support Exchange without IMAP support which my university disable. Otherwise it is the best UX/UI email client on Linux.

Oh! You're right. I suppose I just missed the fact that there's now a skip button/text on the set up screen. Thanks for the correction. And yea its Linux/cross-platform support is also one of the main reasons for why I use it.

I do also remember the part about Exchange not being supported if IMAP is disabled. I had the same issue when I tried to use it at a university, but luckily haven't needed that since. Not surprising to hear that it hasn't changed either.

Wait, you can now log in directly to IMAP? That is quite some change. Wasn't happy to give third parties key to the castle.

I've been using Postbox but unfortunately they got acquihired by eM Client. So much for lifetime license. Won't fall for that again.

Meanwhile, Thunderbird has resurfaced. So I might switch back to that instead.
