macOS Mail app is still the best native e-mail client in my experience.

I have switched to Thunderbird full-time since I switched to Linux. Can confirm it supports unified inbox.

It'll sound crazy: I've never used Macs, but the IMAP-based client was Outlook Express back in 2005-2010.

100% multi-thread download and synch of folder contents, instantaneous display of messages, super-responsive.

I've tried a lot of clients on Windows and Linux and none of them get near the experience I had 20 years ago.

That's good to know. The Mail app shortcut keys don't make a lick of sense, but I don't mind that as much as the inability to zoom in on images in a message. No pinch and zoom on an image is diabolical in the MacOS ecosystem. Do you miss anything about Mail now that you're Thunderbird full-time? Anything you prefer in Thunderbird over Mail?
