Cons
Con Outdated interface
Thunderbird's interface is outdated - yet traditional and functional. It feels more like a Windows XP application than like a modern MacOS one.
Con Terrible search - could be better yet it works
Search is actually quite good, fast if you are just filtering the inbox and with very useful timeline profiles for a broader search.
