Besides Thunderbird, is there any good desktop mail client for Windows that doesn’t involve uploading mail to a cloud first?

    Em client is pretty good. I’m using the pro version and its the what Outlook replacement I have used so far.

    There is also Mailbird (not FOSS, costs money and has some weird NordVPN-like fake sales, but the app seems somewhat competent) and Mailspring (partly open source but afaik not completely, built with a MacOS-esque UI but works for Windows and Linux as well).

    The built-in Mail app is pretty nice, other than that eM Client is good too (not open source tho)

        This is the FOSS community.

        Given people are regularly promoting proprietary trash and being upvoted for it, while people taking a pro-FOSS stance are downvoted, I don’t think this is a FOSS community in anything but name anymore.

      That’s going to be killed off in favor of Outlook in the near future, from what I understand.

      If OP is willing to do a bit of extra legwork and somewhat masochistic, then pretty much any Linux-based mail client is fair game with WSL2. The only one I’ve used lately other than Thunderbird is Evolution, but that was just to test a particular distro’s default offering.
