Decluttering Thunderbird/other alternatives?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

I'm using the latest Thunderbird on Ubuntu Mate 20.04, and yes the today 
pane is what I'm refering to, which put a calendar above the folder 
list, and the filter messages/search bar. Which is infinitely annoying 
since Mozilla decided to have it on by default, and this was publicized 
before the latest update of Thunderbird.

On the subject of Alpine/Mutt, I'm runnning into issues with Gmail 
giving me critical security issues due to how Mutt/Alpine handle 
authenticating things, so Tim, any ideas?
