I've been using Thunderbird almost as long as I can remember, I guess I trust it, but probably blindly.

Another interesting question is, which email backend can you trust? It's literally your post-box, can you really trust that to be anywhere except on a physical machine in your own home?

I certainly don't. All my emails are sent/received/stored on physical hardware located on my premises.

Just about anything else is untrustworthy IMHO.
