But the last time I tried Thunderbird, admittedly a fair while ago, I wasn't very happy with it--heavyweight, oriented toward HTML mail, opened too many links, etc.
I've been using Thunderbird for at least a decade and like it. As far as opening links goes, go to Tools, Preferences, Privacy, and uncheck Allow remote content in messages. Once you've done that, You'll get a little banner at the top of any message that wants to open links letting you know it's been blocked and giving you the option to load it, or even make a permanent exception for the sender.
