I've been using Thunderbird since forever. It's not perfect but I like it better than bloated and laggy Outlook.

I thought Thunderbird was getting increasingly shitty and slower/clunky, until I realised it was actually my ISP's mail server getting increasingly shit. This became immediately obvious the day that emails started taking 12-18 hours to land in my inbox. Reallllll handy for those time limited account reset emails. Funnily enough, they were planning real soon to outsource their email to another company for the low, low cost of just a few extra dollars a month, opt in now!

Transferred my IMAP inbox to my own domain, everything is now awesome again.

But better for touch and simpler than windows mail?

I am only using Outlook for work email.

If by "better for touch" you mean a phone app: no, Thunderbird is for your computer. In Android I can recommend FairEmail.

No, I mean like windows mail app for windows. A large screen app that can easily used with only touch. Like I said in my first comment.

Failing to read my comments and just answering the questions you want to answer is not helpful.

Sorry I missed that. I don't think you'll ever be happy using Windows on a touch device though. Too much relies on the traditional UX pattern, especially third-party applications.
