"Mutt/aerc doesn't support windows, an OS many use by preference or requirement"
All modern Windows boxes have Hyper-V built in to some extent and you can run a Linux VM. You have OpenSSH natively too. It will take a bit of twiddling to setup a suitable environment but not much.
I use Linux exclusively and prefer GUIs too. I use Evolution against MS Exchange on-prem, for my sins. I also run a set of vanity email domains for friends and family (Dovecot, Exim etc).
I'm not familiar with Betterbird but it is now bookmarked and noted for eval.
One day we are going to have to dump the Exchange box and I look forward to the discussion about what happens next. M365? Nope, or OK - you kids do that and I'll bugger off and do my own thing. Do bear in mind that I've been running the email system for 25+ years (it was GroupWise once) and I am the Managing Director!
In the end you really can replace Exchange with and IMAPD, MTA etc and a calendaring app of some sort.
Anyway, I'm strolling rather rapidly off topic. Sorry and thanks for the Betterbird notes.
