Claws is an active project.
I became roundcube free when I set up my own mail server.
I simply use an email client rather than a browser. Browsers can leak.

Practically what this means is that in 2016, Thunderbird will finally be able to accept donations from users directed toward the update and maintenance of Thunderbird. In the long run, Thunderbird needs to rely on our users for support, and not expect to be subsidized by revenue from Firefox. We welcome this help from the Mozilla Foundation in moving toward our goal of developing independent sources of income for Thunderbird.
In the technical part of that post, Mitchell reiterated that Mozilla needs to be laser-focused on Firefox, and that the burden this places on Thunderbird (as well as the burden that Thunderbird places on Firefox) is leading to unacceptable outcomes for both projects. The most immediate need is for the Thunderbird release infrastructure to be independent of that used by Firefox, and Mozilla has offered to help. In the long-term, there will be additional technical separation between Firefox and Thunderbird as a continuation of a process that has been ongoing for the last three years.

FWIW, I use claws, which is about the only one not mentioned.
lets see if dovecot will be webmail ng someday
I don't like Thunderbird.
sadly
For one thing, it is in caretaker status.
what ?
Mozilla believes Web based mail is the "future."
do you have references for this somewhere ?
I rather not run roundcube, given I got hacked via an unpatched roundcube
unpatched is allways good, problems come when non default and mostly custom plugins is not tested, keep plain roundcube should not be a problem more then a claws client that is not patched
back when I was using a hosting company.
nothing happended since then ?
Webmail just increases your attack surface.
so what is the solution ?, going offline ?
