I didn't realize Thunderbird was still around. I've got office 2013 so use Outlook myself but TB is a good product

It never stopped.
Office 2013? Is that still maintained with (security-)updates?

Good point! Just checked - nope, support ended 2018 /facepalm. Looks like I should look at swapping to TB then?

@ErzCrz You could just use parts of Office 2013 that you want to continue using, uninstall the ones you don't and find another mail provider. There are plenty of ways to protect outdated MS Office apps otherwise, including but not limited to blocking outbound connections.

Well using outdated software never make sense and same for blocking internet for email program

Also changing mail provider doesn't change the outdated software and the vulnerabilities.
Also office is highly targeted from attacker side
