Hi,
in general I support the switch to Claws Mail. Yet we should keep
collecting some more technical feedback like from Manfred. Personally I
have no experience with mbox, for example. So I'd like to avoid any
trouble for people.

I looked at it some weeks ago. Everything looked OK to me, but there is
a bit BUT! The default format for the mail files/folders is some builtin
sort of "mh"; it can deal with "mbox" files, but not for the default
account, which means one has to convert/import the files, and/or change
the whole structure of a multi-account setup.
According to their FAQ mbox and Maildir are supported via plugins:

When I saw that, I decided
to stick with thunderbird68 atm. Another thing is, I normally use mutt
as my primary e-mail client, but from time to time I need to start
thunderbird for some reasons; I spent quite some time to allow them
share the same file/mail structure. I'm not so sure if the "mh" thing
will work with mutt...
While I understand your concerns Maurizio's question points to the
default client on installation and live ISO (at least that's how I
understood it). A pre-selected Claws Mail would not keep you from using
Thunderbird.
Maybe the initial account setup differs when mbox/maildir plugins are
not only installed but also pre-activated. At least that would be worth
having a look.
Cheers,
vinz.
