On that topic, is there an alternative for a mail client + calendar for Win 11 that doesn’t look and feel like a Windows 95 exe named Thunderbird?

Thunderbird did get a UI overhaul semi-recently so it might offer what you're after now.

I also liked eM Client which has a free version.

This looks like Win 95 to you?

To be fair, that is the concept art, the real thing looks more like this:

Certainly not Windows 95, but not as good as the concept art. Yet people still complain A LOT, because it breaks theor two decade old CSS and "looks like a electron app" (whatever that means...).

If someone tells me "it looks like an electron app" I assume they mean "doesn't have a native window bar"

Actually this the first time I noticed Thunderbird don't have a native window bar LOL.

Like who looks at window bar all day?!

There’s surprisingly few standalone email clients for normal people on desktop platforms as far as I know.

I’ve been using Thunderbird and loving it. They’re developing a mobile app now as well!
