It's the default, so most people use it, including me :)

I mean, it's not just colors and everything being strongly rectangular.
It's these floating menus, submenus hopping upwards on clicking, windows
disappearing apparently randomly, no way to unhide the app after using
the "hide" menu item, these icons in the lower left corner appearing
(what's their point, clicking them does nothing?) and such things.

Isn't there a Gnome or Gtk+ theme? This would probably fit much better
and I doubt Ubuntu users would complain to see this installed by default
or as a (mandatory?) dependency.

Indeed, if I avoid checking for server capabilities, I can save
preferences and quit normally. Now I can at least read mail, thanks.

Compared to Thunderbird it's a really nice, uncluttered app. Even
PGP/GPG is there. Some polishing (see above) and people should jump on it.
