I used Thunderbird for a very long time but recently stopped. Every update has made it slower, breaks a host of extensions, and the Google Calendar integration is consistently broken no matter which solution I use. I really, really want to use Thunderbird but email and calendar need to Just Work. I can't keep fixing it every time they push out an update
This 13 year old bug in the calendar has been pretty frustrating. Would love to donate specifically towards a fix for that. But I guess that's not an option.
