Huh. I used to think that my Mac Mini was just too puny for my huge mailboxes.
I now use Evolution on openSUSE running on a Ryzen 1700 with an nVME SSD, and it still feels kind of slow-ish. So maybe that program is in need of some loving optimization, too (would not surprise me if it did), or my mailboxes are just unreasonably big (would not surprise me, either). Probably a bit of both.
That's just Evolution. It's a big, complicated turd that uses a thread pool with no priorities. So you can sit there waiting to read a message while it is blocked checking your other folders. Also it's keyboard shortcuts are stupid.
Unfortunately, Thunderbird does not like to talk to Microsoft Exchange Servers in their native tongue. If it weren't for that, or if my employer did not run on Exchange, I would be using Thunderbird already.
