I don't want to have to use their stupid little bloated software just to send and read E-mails in a client of my choosing.

I suspect their encryption scheme falls outside the SMTP/IMAP protocols hence the requirement for an application to decrypt/encrypt the message before being delivered to and from your desired email reader.

Thunderbird doesn’t know how to decrypt/encrypt an email if it isn’t given the tools to do so 🤷‍♂️
