Can I ask why anyone likes using desktop email programs? Ever since I was a
kid, I've dreaded helping people with outlook, live mail, or thunderbird
because of issues like you're describing.

Also people who didn't set up IMAP so their emails disappeared off their
email server and only existed on their computer. Then they didn't back
things up so when their computer crashed, bye bye to all their emails. Or
if they bought a new computer and need to migrate, it takes an hour or two
to backup and move the outlook file.

Holy crap I shiver when I think about desktop email.

Gmail.com and then move on with life. Forget about database issues, new
computers, spam filtering, multiple devices per account, backups, etc.

You couldn't convince me to ever use desktop email. That's so 2001 haha
