GMail’s webmail and Mail.app are really the only two mail clients I’ve used in
the past decade or so to be honest. I think I used thunderbird for a few weeks
when I was a teenager but I honestly don’t even remember anything about it (and
I barely got any email back then so I think I just used the default).
TBH I find threaded views nonsensical in every medium I’ve ever seen them in,
even things like Reddit or the such feel really poor to me. Either the
threading is so in your face that the same points end up getting repeated at
different sub threads, or the threading is so minimal that people are replying
to things cross sub-thread and treating it like a “flat” discussion.
