OK... Now what actionable thing can I do with this info? Use outlook? What good would that do?

I want firefox to exist to create a good browser and thunderbird to exist for a good email client. Is that too much to ask?

I don’t think you need to do anything different. Sometimes when I learn new things I say “oh, interesting.”

Fair nuff. Sometimes it's just overwhelming getting information of something I can't do anything by. Like oh great another thing that's going wrong rn... Woo hoo

You could switch to KMail, which is developed by the KDE community, organised in KDE e.V., an actual registered non-profit.
Or Evolution, developed by the GNOME project, organised in the GNOME foundation, another registered non-profit.

That said, GNOME has close ties to IMB/RedHat, so use that info however you see fit.

Every big open source project now has ties to one corporation or another.
Linux isn't a hobby project of a few hackers anymore.

Yup, but some, like Linux, has a good assortment of corporate backers, instead of one massive org.

Pick your poison I guess, but at the end of the day, as long as it's FOSS, it can be forked if necessary.
