Why would you use Gmail in the first place?

I have been moving away from all of the big name companies for big name products.

It's a shame, because I used to be very supportive of Google.

Ex-Google fan boy here. Been riding the fuck Google wagon for about 7 years now, no regrets, and certain I'm missing out on absolutely nothing. Moving away from all these self-serving BS "tech giants" is the smartest and healthiest move anyone can do.

Do any other email services/clients have a very similar search function? Where I can search for date ranges and email sizes in addition to the more typical operators.

At my workplace I have to deal with Outlook, and it's a pile of crap in comparison.

Use Thunderbird as a client with any email service. Thunderbird has all the features you want.

Thanks, actually I was already using it for backing up my Gmail inbox, so now I looked at its search features, and found the Expression (Power) Message/Calendar Search - NG addon that provides Gmail-like filtering :)

I have a Google account at work with the domain name of the company. The AI is annoying and I wished they used something else.
