I am doing my job for more than 32 years now.

Email has been my primary method of communication from day 1 and I have archived nearly all emails (except spam and newsletters).

That are in total 47 GB till today with a rate of adding about 3GB per year (email bloat is hitting me hard).

I just cannot switch to #outlook Every time I tried, Outlook had one look at my email archive, whimpered, rolled over and died.

Mozilla #thunderbird in comparison is doing a complete full text search over all my 30+ years of communication.

That saved my ass multiple times.

I keep one year of communication in one folder. That makes it easier to track complicated affairs where the subject has changed during the exchange.

So here a big endorsement for OSS from me: https://www.thunderbird.net/
