@mforester @thunderbird I wonder if we had a very similar path in our email adventures.
I used Thunderbird religiously when I was running my podcast network (the one circa 2004-2009), and then I was enticed by Gmail.
After that, I moved over to Proton Mail and mainly consumed email on my phone.
And now, I'm back to appreciating the power and flexibility a dedicated email client has.
Also? I LOATHE phone keyboards now.
