I like Proton, but I’ve never wanted a desktop app. Thunderbird is great. It’s super annoying to need the external connection client. I’d rather they just spent the energy on native Thunderbird support without a second GUI.
I would prefer they add caldev and carddev to the bridge app so thunderbird can have access to calendar and contacts. I feel that would be better setup for power users, but the integrated desktop app helps normies adopt.
