For me, it's a matter of taste and philosophy. IMAP and POP3 are like ActivityPub, a public and widely-adopted protocol standard for their purpose. It represents my ownership of my email.

There's no unnecessary tracking or metrics while I draft my mail. I don't need Microsoft and Google's advertisements. If they decide to suddenly purge my almost 20 years worth of electronic mail, then I still have a backup copy.

Thunderbird is a really useful client too. You can even participate in matrix chatrooms through it.
