the sidebar is still just a permanent placeholder to create tabs, this makes no sense. It needs to replace tabs entirely or I need to hide it as it is useless
the filter function still doesnt allow nested filters (like “IF the message is older than x days AND contains y OR z THEN”)
Thunderbird conversations and DKIM Verifier got ported luckily, but these should simply be integrated.
same with small ones like “filter button”, filters are unreasonably hard to get
the global search opens tabs and the UI is horrible. It should stay in the same window, or it is useless for me. I use the inferior filter search, which works but pinning the filterbar wastes space
Though…
I really like Thunderbird and also K-9 mail (even though FairEMail is a beast regarding features) and can use it without big issues every day.
It’s going to sound trivial, but I just don’t like the icons in FairEmail. I was a little worried when Thunderbird took over k9, but they have done a good job with NOT going fast or breaking things.
Thunderbird team seems to have a vision of what an email client can be, but also great respect for how important email is to people.
Nice and all, but

Fair-Email gives me anxiety. Literally the only app where I needed to change like 10 settings because the defaults felt wrong, and there are too many!
The interface is too small too, barely clickable.
K9-Mail to this day doesnt display notifications for me, which is really bad. Even with manual periodic check enabled.
And there are a ton of more features in Fairemail that are super cool.

Did that. The issue is “push folders” but still it doesnt reliably run in the background
