Thunderbird can do that and much more. It's very configurable and extensible, I highly recommend it.

Ok.

Don’t tell anyone, but I’m old enough to have used Netscape on Linux as my primary mail client.

So going back to thunderbird after all these years… gives me mixed feelings. But I’ll take it for a spin and see.

Well that's cool, personally i wasn't alive in those days :)

On another note, the absolute best mail client i have ever used is FairEmail on android. It even beats Thunderbird on the desktop. If you run android i highly recommend that too.

+1 for FairEmail! Really powerful and configurable, but also just works like you expect and otherwise stays out of your way.

On the Desktop I have been using Mailspring for awhile and am also super happy with it!

Pfft. You're just a young whippersnapper to those of us old enough to have used mailx on SunOS as our primary mail client.

Ha! My Unix timeline history is vague now but I’ve used SCO, DG/UX and HP/UX in anger. Pretty sure mailx was my client on most of those! :) (not to mention SunOS and Sequent at some point. And DRS/NX. But that’s not one to mention in polite company)

Ah, all of thou young fools! Thou haven't not written mail with ink, quill and ye carrier pigeon?

SunOS is most of a decade older than IPoAC, how can you call its users young to a SunOS user?
