I view email in Thunderbird and have uBlock installed. Sadly the CSS Exfil addon for Firefox does not exist for Thunderbird but I view emails in plain text either way. I suppose I "miss out" on backgrounds, themes, animated GIFs. For me personally plain text is the way to go. Am I the only one using an email client these days? I prefer the client so I can keep my emails off the server and manage my own backups.

Using a email a free email provider with Thunderbird is a pain nowadays
You can get away with not giving your phone only with google and outlook but you will need recovery addresses. For those I am using proton mail, they don't require anything and for those I have the recovery key saved somewhere.
Also you will get error messages in thunderbird from outlook that it doesn't work... but it does work !
I did all that in anger but if I had to do it again I would just use one of those super cheap provider where you pay 1$ a month or even by usage and use TB with that.
Hey mail, fastmail, they all look great but I don't even pay that much to my bank or any other services so no way I am spending 5 euros or more a month for email

How so? I host my own stuff, and I never had much problems.
Isn't hosting your own email server different from using a "free email provider"?
Email clients have a much better UI too.
