This will get me loads of downvotes, but Windows 10 Mail and Calendar (not Outlook) is simple yet works flawlessly and is miles ahead of Thunderbird by usability, stability and user-friendliness. On the other hand though, Ubuntu Evolution is even better and is open-source.

Interesting... what do you like better about Evolution compared to Thunderbird? I've never tried Evolution but am curious if it's worth the upgrade to Win 11 to switch

Evolution is an Ubuntu (gnome in particular) app, not a win 11 one
