If you work on projects that might span a year or more, the emails add up. MS Office Outlook has it’s PST file issues becoming corrupted, as has been noted. Outlook Express was simple and convenient, but lacked any really useful functionality beyond the basics. Before TB I was primarily a Outlook Express and MS Office Outlook user.
Opera tries to do a good job of the very basics, built in to the browser.
Webmail via a browser always falls well short of flexibility and tools IMHO. I’ve used a lot of different clients and webmail interfaces over the years. I’ve been a long term user, with some off and on again periods, since the Netscape days. Also the Sort By Date for folders defaults to oldest on top when you first load up an account unless you enter the Configuration Editor and change the string manually.) Once its dialed in though its great.
Two more selling points were customization that can be done through addons/themes/css, and the Mozilla name since I'm a user of Firefox since forever ago.ĭevils advocate, it can be a little tricky to set up exactly how you want it if you have a specific aesthetic or function you're looking for (for example, displaying the Sender full email address requires 3rd party addon which is annoying. I really gave Outlook and Apple Mail a shot but in the end I found Thunderbird to be exactly what I needed and have been using it ever since (currently on TB v91 with custom dark theme). Around 2012, I switched over to Mac OSX equipment and the options I knew about at the time were: Outlook (MS Office for Mac), use built in Apple Mail, or Thunderbird. It was super simple and did its job well. I was a longitme Windows user and loved Outlook Express for years as my main mail program on XP.
This is a little longer than 5 years ago but it might be useful.
