Mail serve

I am an old-school Thunderbird user still. It allows me access to Eternal Sept to read this newsgroup. Not even sure if news groups are even used anymore we seem to be a bunch of crazy old cyclist.
Thunderbird is good but slow and I would possible like to go to Outlook but it will cost $70 a year. What are you all using for your email program and getting the newsgroup. Pretty sure Andrew is doing what I do but maybe not for all email.
