"The only time I use Thunderbird is for troubleshooting diagnostics." -
from Steve's blog

Don't use Thunderbird/Icedove for troubleshooting. When I experienced
issues with Evolution for e.g. sending emails, I replaced Evolution's
internal thingy with msmtp. Any other sendmail thingy would be as good
too. Linux GUI MUA's usually provide their own email editors, but some,
at least Evolution, allows you to use any other editor (as mentioned
before, you also can chose any sendmail software). So if you like some
GUI MUA, take a look, likely you can replace elements that might cause
issues, so you unlikely need Thunderbird/Icedove for troubleshooting.

I don't know if the CoC allows to discuss such off-topics at
d-community-offtopic, but let's try to do it there. Currently the list
isn't closed.
