I use Thunderbird on both desktop (Linux) and mobile (Android). I currently have five accounts in a unified inbox:
Gmail (2 accounts): 'professional' one I give to people and the other one for generic account signups - currently migrating away from both of these.
Mailbox.org: the replacement for both my gmail accounts as mailbox.org allows aliases. They are completely EU based and don't sell your data. Costs a small fee of €15 a year.
Zoho: for my own domain which is public and attached to my various projects as a developer contact address
Microsoft 365 🤢: Had to add this one literally today because I'm going back to uni in September. Hate that they use microsoft, but thankfully the uni enabled IMAP/SMTP instead of only allowing Microsoft's proprietary OWA protocol.
As for general usage, I treat my inbox like a to-do list. Once I've completed all tasks relating to an email, it gets deleted if it's not important or archived (usually if it's anything to do with money like a receipt or invoice). I usually only have at most 3-4 emails in my inbox at once.
The only thing that annoys me about Thunderbird is that occasionally if I delete a message, it will leave a blank 'ghost' message where the old one used to be that has a date of 01/01/1970 which only goes away when the program is restarted.
I feel you, I also had to use either gmail or outlook in university. At the moment I'm trying to clean the mess of all the accounts I have signed up for.
