Astroid requires external programs like mpop or offlineimap to fetch
mail. So it cannot quite replace Thunderbird for the casual mail
user.

What about the not so casual email user ? ;-)

Perhaps, claws-mail or blasa are better alternatives. Both
claws-mail and balsa are already packaged for Guix.

I didn t know

In my view, those make the Thunderbird case even more desperate ;-)
