Love the theme.

Now if only Thunderbird weren’t a clunky POS. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve given it another chance after people swear “it’s really better now” again.

Still refuses to follow chosen settings for how much mail data to download/store locally (it always eventually downloads everything).

JMAP support has been open for 9 years now: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1322991
It's wild to me they won't prioritize this. We have good JMAP providers like Fastmail, we just need client support
Isn't Fastmail basically the only one? What other well known provider supports JMAP?
Soon Thundermail by Mozilla!
it always eventually downloads everything

I have the opposite problem: I absolutely cannot get it to download everything. What it does do, however, is constantly re-download mail, to the point that it's extremely slow and regularly pops up "folder cannot be compacted because another operation is in progress" errors when I'm just trying to click on folders.

Why oh why can't the search default to "view as list" weeps
