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. Am 16.11.20 um 09:30 schrieb Manfred Hollstein:
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.

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.

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.
