Hopefully this is more than a UI improvement and also tackles pretty awful UX.

I use catch all mailboxes to combat spam after moving away from Proton, and thunderbird makes me "subscribe" to each one. If I'm not expecting a new mailbox to be created, I simply don't see it.

Plus, the subscription process takes 30+ second per mailbox. The entire UI just freezes. I also have to unsubscribe first, because the checkbox is already marked, and then re-subscribe. Perhaps this is some leftover of mail protocols that makes little sense anymore, but I digress.

I'm ready for email to just die. I don't know what a good alternative is but email feels like the printers of software.
