It seems there are no alternatives, I'm afraid, :(. The closer keeps being Kontact, but Kontact, besides not supporting autocrypt, and being bloated, discontinued some time back its support to windows. It also has issues with ICS remote web calendars, it doesn't sync them, just load them statically without ever syncing them, which is an issue for work office365 ICS calendar, and others remote calendars requiring syncing from time to time. The only thing where Kontact (well Kmail) is the way, is its support for gnupg, which for me is a plus, since I don't want to keep public keys on the gnupg keyring as well as on a TB database, and I'd still prefer to use the gnupg agent. However given the lack of other features, plus not really liking akonadi, neither how bloated it is, then it didn't become the option for me unfortunately. The hope might be getting extensions that would enable autocrypt for TB in the future. But still, TB wouldn't be using gnupg, its keyring, neither its agent, so even if such extension would show up, it wouldn't be the option I was looking for, but perhaps the closest compromise available...
