		sph on May 10, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Thunderbird Is Thriving: Our 2022 Financial Report I would use Evolution if it didn't look and feel like the version found in early GNOME 2 Ubuntu, when they still used to ship installation CDs for free. Aesthetics is as important a feature as supporting IMAP or having decent search. Which is why I'm still stuck with Fastmail's webmail, because neither Evolution nor Thunderbird seem to satisfy these criteria.

I disagree and definitely think IMAP support and good search is more important than aesthetics here, but I also don't think Evolution looks so bad[1].
