“The OP did not ask for advice on OSes. He is using Windows, likely needs to.”

Oh stop working for MS. There is nothing wrong with suggesting killing two birds with one stone. Most Linux distros come with T-bird already boxed by default. T-bird mail + no more MS headaches is logical and rational.

Did you miss it? Part of the problem the OP is presenting is the MS BS forcing him to search for alternatives in the first place. You can’t cheery pick and change the cause and effect. lol

I am not shilling for MS. I am answering the user's question. What Microsoft does with Mail and Outlook has little to do with the OS.

If you need to use applications that are not available in Linux, then saying "use Linux" is not an answer to the problem. I have pruned Microsoft from my system more than 90% of the non-MacOS/Android users on this forum, using Thunderbird for e-mail, Brave for browser, WordPerfect for word processing, and LibreOffice for small spreadsheets. That's why I have dual boot. But there is no Linux replacement for FileMaker Pro, and LibreOffice Calc chokes on large spreadsheets.

In the end, the computer has to do what you want it to do in the way you want it to do it. Linux does not always do that. Neither does Microsoft. If someone asks for a Microsoft compatible e-mail app, saying "Dump your OS for an email app" is not an answer to his question.
