It's add-on system is easier to use then Outlook's (partly because most everything is free). It's tagging system and archiving system are better than Outlook's. But if you don't need all the bells and whistles, Thunderbird, in my opinion, is oftentimes better than Outlook.įor example, I find that Thunderbird has a better search than Outlook, and better conversation capabilities (threading and open message in conversation) than Outlook. You can try and use webmail of various types - and there are some decent webmail clients out there - but it's just not quite the same as using a good Desktop client.įor the newest Outlook versus the newest Thunderbird, Outlook wins feature wise - it does a lot of things and all of it is pretty well integrated. let me try and answer this, as someone who likes Thunderbird quite a bit (and is cool with people not liking it, but just wants to provide their own perspective).įor traditional business email, you are pretty much stuck with two options - Outlook or Thunderbird. There are plenty of good TUIs that can handle text-only e-mails, so claws isn't really something I currently have a use for.
The only thing it lacks for me is an html e-mail editor, which is necessary for responding and quoting to non text-only e-mails. Maybe I'm just old, but Claws is way more usable than me than Thunderbird. > Claws is even more 90s than Thunderbird I have no problem with TUIs, I use a TUI along side a gui mail client, but the latter is necessary when dealing with non text-only messages (particularly responding to). I hadn't heard of mailspring previously, but I suspect we have similar views of what at typical electron-based app is like. I'm not a UI expert, so I can't put my finger on what the difference is. Once it's installed though, it's a joy to use, while Thunderbird feels like a drag. It "just works" on recent NixOS versions though. I don't like this about Evolution either I haven't run a GNOME desktop for at least a decade, and (depending on the distro) it can be a tiny bit fiddly getting Evolution working without a GNOME desktop.
Indeed, my reaction to Geary was "wow, they managed to make KMail look good!" > Geary is too buggy/lacks e-mail refresh, KMail is also too buggy although I haven't tried it in a few years The UI looked shiny, I never got upset about it (UI or functionality), but I happily went back to Thunderbird when I got back to Linux. I used Apple's Mail.app when I using a Mac, because I needed to access an Exchange mailbox at the time, which sucks on Thunderbird. I'm sure there are prettier mail clients around, and by all means, if you prefer one of those, use it. Not everyone is using GMail, and my idea of what does or does not count as Spam might differ significantly from what some email provider thinks. > is not needed anymore since GMail and its modern competition. One has to ask for it specifically in the Sorting menu, which admittedly is annoying and should be the default. Thunderbird can group messages by conversation. > does not group messages by conversation A lot of attempts to "improve" UIs end with things like Microsoft's Ribbon interface (which I really dislike). It doesn't get in the way, and more importantly, I have used it for a long time, so I know my way around it quite well.
