I’ve never heard of anyone using Thunderbird, but I hear about other Firefox users all the time.
I want a new email place. FUCK GMAIL 💥 FUCK GOOGLE! I had to use MS Office for work once, it was okay. Better than Gmail by a mile. But you seriously think I’m gonna use Microsoft? Well, what else is there? If Thunderbird is alright I think I should give it a try.
I also need to find a way to make a new not-gmail email domain. No idea where to go for that. Uh, does Thunderbird have anything?
Thunderbird will be releasing a mail service called Thundermail.

If you ending up needing a mail client like Thunderbird, consider Betterbird. It’s just a more-polished version of Thunderbird.
Thunderbird is not a email provider, it’s email client. Gmail is both a email provider and they have a webclient you can (but don’t need to) use. You can use gmail with Thunderbird, I do that.
The question is what are you looking for a new email provider or a new email client?
Thunderbird is fine as a mail client. It doesn’t provide any email service, though.
For email service, Proton and Fastmail are top choices. Proton requires a “bridge” app in order to use clients like Thunderbird. On mobile, Proton only works via the Proton app.
As for clients, again, Thunderbird is fine. Betterbird is a better choice if you like Thunderbird but wish it weren’t so rough around the edges. If you are on Linux, I actually prefer Evolution to Betterbird/Thunderbird.
They will soon be an email service provider! https://thundermail.com/
