thunderbird just got a major upgrade with new aesthetics.
honestly, just use a mail client. on Android I use k9. on desktop, thunderbird.
I don't understand why there are so many surprised people in this thread. They've been doing this for a pretty long time now. Yahoo has been doing it for even longer.
Unless this is just people being fake surprised as a joke?
