I have been looking for an email client on Linux after being tired of Gmail and Outlook web clients.

I had Thunderbird installed on my system and thought I’d give it a spin. I set up POP for my email accounts and it worked fantastic… For a total of 2 hours, after which I realised that searching in Thunderbird is simply not going to work for me. I need to search by attachment name and sometimes even by text inside attachment and unfortunately Thunderbird can’t do that (I think I tried an extension too but it made the UI super clunky to the point that I couldn’t even understand how to navigate it anymore).

Does Betterbird or any other email client fix this problem? I’m willing to try other options if they are FOSS.

Thanks

    … they already have your emails. Not only that, but just about everything else they could possibly want to know about you.

    Unless you plan on moving to a more private provider I wouldn’t worry about that.

      Do they know everything about you minute to minute? Email to email? I can imagine that is data they might want to have. The data you are presently creating. You always have a footprint, but you can always make your feet smaller while you walk. Or some better allusion. Leave me alone.

      Agreed, and I do plan to move to other providers. I should add that I find a desktop client convenient, and I don’t mind the Thunderbird UI at the moment. Unfortunately, lack of a single feature breaks it for me
