Making moves

I am very sorry to have to say this, but I am really angry. I have known Thunderbird since the beginning of 2000. I didn't use it because important functions were not available. Now that I am more or less forced to switch to Linux, everything depends on being able to use a decent and powerful email client. What is available? Thunderbird by default. But it's still not really usable 25 years later for many reasons. The most important reason: the import wizard is not usable. How do you want to grow the user community if you can't import properly, please? I can't import 4000 emails manually. The Flatpak version doesn't even allow you to import individual eml files via drag 'n' drop. Are you crazy? Are you surprised that only 3% of all users are willing to donate, but don't even provide the most necessary entry help? - Notice the mistake.

Now there is also the fact that I now have 6 email accounts and the program is not able to filter unread emails across all 6 accounts. You have to define a corresponding search folder for each account. I am losing faith.

You could have won a donor with me. I donate monthly for the Linux distribution, for KeePassXC and for LibreOffice. But not like this, folks.

Basically, you're jeopardizing my entire project to switch from Windows to Linux. - I'm really stunned.

Best regards

Every software comes with baggage.  For example flatpak is relatively new so it still has issues - if it isn't meeting your needs than perhaps best to use a different method of install?

But I'm not totally understanding your import issue - in the same paragraph you say "I didn't use it because important functions were not available" but then say import doesn't work.  What are you importing from if you weren't using Thunderbird?
