I use a bunch of different machines but I'm never far from a web
browser. The search feature means you can find an old email by
anything you can remember about it so you don't need to waste time
categorizing things.

I'm old too, but I find modern large-screened phones to be fairly easy
to read. But, I rarely type a reply there. I just hit 'mark unread'
and pick it up on a computer later to reply unless the reply is needed
immediately or would be very short. That's the nice thing about
having the same view from anywhere, and without needing special
clients. On mail lists you probably read/skip a hundred messages to
every one you answer, so using a phone lets you do some of it anytime
or place.
