Are there any good #FOSS alternatives to #Mozilla #Thunderbird with #NoAI ? When I was at the University of Denver I installed Thunderbird once so I could have a local copy of my work emails (through Microsoft), then I deleted it. I've now tried the same trick at CU Boulder (also Microsoft) and been told I need to request access to use Thunderbird. This still might work to back up my emails, but lately I've been thinking it would be nice to have an application instead of using a web client so I get local backups automatically and have a clearner interface. Is there anything good in this space that hasn't been subject to #enshittification ?

Gnome Evolution is fine; Claws Email is fine.
However I had to stop using Gnome evolution for reasons I do not remember anymore, I guess some issue with my sad gmail account, therefore I switched to Claws Email on my little laptop.

@freezr I'm always happy to find good software written in C and released under the GPL which has been maintained for decades. Thanks!
