Out of curiosity, why would a mail client need an ad blocker? Email doesn't tend to have ad banners in them.

I see plenty of ads in Outlook. 😕
I never see ads in Gmail or Mail.app
Edit to add that I was seeing ads in Outlook because I failed to disable external images. Silly me. Fixed.

I haven’t heard of a macOS mail client with built-in ad blocker.
I use Little Snitch to block unwanted connections in Thunderbird, but any firewall can be used for any e-mail client. Like LuLu https://objective-see.org/products/lulu.html

I did a search, I had no idea Outlook showed you ads as emails in your inbox!

To be fair, it only does that when you don’t have a subscription. But yeah, it’s like fresh hot spam every time you open the app. 😕
