Thunderbird will be releasing a completely redesigned app from scratch next month. It has a fresher look. Maybe you could install the beta and try it out?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well, I don't like TB's RNP implementation, actually requiring you to keep 2 keyrings separately, the GNUPG one (if you do so, which is my case), and then a TB's own DB, which to me is non sense. And that's by design, a choice TB made when integrating PGP support on TB's code.
FYI, there's a Sequoia Octopus implementation which works quite well, though if not integrated with TB on the distribution you use, every time TB gets updated, one needs to go and replace TB's librnp.so with Octopus' one.
Kmail does a much better integration with GNUPG, but it's unfortunate that it has quite some dependencies, plus the whole akonadi stuff. But if already using kde/plasma, and not concerned about whole lot of dependencies, then kmail might be a really good option. The whole suite (kaddressook + kmail + korganizer + ...) is called kontact, and it's part of kde-pim. Korganizer doesn't yet support syncing ics/webcal remote calendars, after all these years, which is really disappointing, but I guess some people don't care.
That said, my current solution is TB + Sequoia Octopus...
uh. that looks promising! I heard about it but that was a long time ago and I forgot. thanks @sibloure@beehaw.org :)
Claws Mail is great! (Though I use KMail and the other KDE PIM software because it fits in better with Plasma...)
I use Claws Mail. For this email client there are plugins for encryption / signing (https://www.claws-mail.org/plugin.php?plugin=gpg). Regarding the visual appearance, however, one should not expect much. Claws Mail is first and foremost a functional client.
I would say evolution (gnome-evolution) to keep into the gnome ecosystem, that was what I used because geary doesnt support OAUTH2 exchange.
evolution works ok, I just don't like the look and feel. There's a lot of customization possible ... but it's just not for me somehow. so far the thunderbird beta is quite nice.
