There are also bin-packages so you don't have build it really.
True, but it still won't update automatically with `pacman -Syu`. For an email client, automatic security updates are quite important. Having to update manually from the AUR would certainly be a downgrade in user experience.
Current version is affected by many known security vulnerabilities[1]. This is the reason even your grandma distro made update. I think running '<aur-helper> -Syu' isn't beyond capabilities of someone who takes security importantly.
