Isn't it dead or something?

"Sorta", but that's why I'm asking. Is it really missing anything?

these autists probably think it's a botnet that redirects your email to the NSA or some other X-Files shit like that.

Personally I hate it because the defaults are awful and there's no easy way to get rid of the calendar and tasks, which I don't need. I wish there was an alternative.

No idea, I use MS Outlook and it just werks.

No tray icon: WONTFIX

My complain would be how it always ask if I want to compress the archive folder. There's no "no" option, just "cancel" so the message keeps popping up.
But I'll be moving to mu4e next semester so I don't care much anymore.

What alternatives do yall use?

I've swapped to BlueMail and while I like it more than Thunderbird the updates are too frequent and it's a roulette to know what new bugs/fixes its introduced. Before you mention don't update, I've yet to get a stable version I'm completely satisfied with.

it's not mutt

You can just use your web browser.

Uses too much ram. Bloated to hell.

try postbox

Came here to say this, honestly. There's no reason an e-mail client would be taking up space in my taskbar.

I bet none of the alternatives posted in here are free as in freedom but free as in selling your personal stuff to the chinese

Nope. TB is fine as far as I'm concerned. Sure its connection to pozzilla is an issue, but the email client for now doesn't seem to do anything fishy. If there's a truly based place to escape to in the future, it would probably be mutt, but mutt has this issue where it assumes by default that you're running it on the same computer where your email is stored. That's not the reality for just about anyone now, so you have to spend a while fucking about with your configs to get mutt to point to your actual accounts or god forbid handle multiple accounts. TB just asks you for account setup options on first launch, because it knows how email in $CURRENT_YEAR works.

lags with large inboxes

i use it because I don't know better client.
The Bat used to be good but they changed it

It's not tutanota.
actually i would use it if tutanota had a local IMAP service i could run to get both security and comfyness

1 girl at my company uses it and I feel bad cuz it's now laggy and slow as fuck. Idk what happened but over the past 3 months it went from working fine to absolute dogshit.
It works fine on linux naturally but on windows10 whatever microshit did made thunderbird into dogshit. and she logs into 3 different company emails cuz she has to monitor some of the other staff since they're incompetent
is there an alternative that runs well that I can give her that she can login to several emails at once with?

its nice if you dont care about firefucks, but lightning is shit

It's not named ThunderCats

claws-mail?

seclists.org/oss-sec/2019/q2/162

seemed good but after installing it, it has little bugs on menus and you can't even format text =/

might have to host some shit like roundcube on our server

vice.com/en_us/article/nzea38/why-security-experts-are-using-an-ancient-email-format-in-2015

It's dogshit.
All my work and educational as well as some personal emails are MS anyway so I use outlook, which just werks.
The rest I just use my samshit email client on phone. Again it just werks, and all my email are botnet anyway (ms, gmail, yahoo, yandex).

Why respond in this thread? You're clearly some zoomer that doesn't care about privacy. Plenty of other corporate shill threads you can floss with your fellow zoomers in

Do you use cock.li?

I have a a cock.li account for non personal stuff

>I have a a cock.li account for non personal stuff
I have Gmail for personal but I hate it. I hate opening Gmail. I have started unironically giving my cock.li address for personal use

You host your own mail for personal stuff?
Unless you host your own server your privacy is non existent in regards to email nevermind that doesn't account for the receiver and what they can be doing.
If you think Thunderbird is protecting your privacy, well I wish you all the best. As far as I'm aware this is a thread about email clients.

You zooms zooms shake and cry at the thought of setting something up. It's not hard to host your own email. You use botnet emails so you stick with botnet clients. Using a Foss client is one part of protecting your privacy. I guess fortnite doesn't teach you that

>It's not hard to host your own email
>Using a Foss client is one part of protecting your privacy
Fuck off you autistic NEET. You probably use gmail anyway and just your own email server to sign up for hentai torrent sites. Keep using thundergarbage.

Poor zoomer. Doing a little extra work hurts your söy filled pea brain?

its literally the same

so exactly the same?

>Mozilla product
I don't use it because I'm not a Jewish black woman fighting for equality.

It's shit and both the mobile apps and the webmail from my provider works better than Thunderbird. I really don't get why the fuck people use it.

Because it's free_as_in_freedom:tm:

>not using comfy postbox mail client.

That doesnt look like it would be free as in freedom

i couldn't figure out how to make Thundebird to show previous threads as wall of text instead of quoting of quoting of quoting....
any mail client that does that by default is big no no

ugly gtk3 clusterfuck
I remember stumbling upon a post from their mailing list a while ago saying they're supposed to rehaul it

No, its premium.

Unified inbox is OP.

>B...buh you can just use your browser
Yeah like I want to log in and check 10 or more inboxes individually.

I use it on my Windows machine but it's slow and keeps freezing. Sometimes opening an email can take up to 5 seconds or so.

It's kinda slow, but it's good enough for me. I tried mutt once, but that was too autistic and pointless.

Use postbox

not sure what is the point when webmail exists

It makes no sense on a gnome desktop when evolution (and all of it's components, contacts, calendar etc etc) exist.

Gnome has Evolution
KDE has Kmail
Windows has Outlook.
macOS has apple mail.

Where does Thunderbird fit in? Nowhere

i use it, what are the alternatives?

I unironically use Geary.

I really like Geary. It's just a mail reader though, people who need it to be integrated with calendars and shit will find it too barebones.

You're not wrong. I used evolution for a long time, but I realized there are a ton of features with it I never use (anything other than email). Geary is a little buggy and I don't like how some of it works, but as far as something to read the email it does what I want.

I have like 40000 mails in mine. Never seen it lag. When does this happen exactly ?

It's a decent calendar, but it's annoying that it has a built in mail client.

Nothing, use it or the default ms client.

Claws Mail is faster.

Can't get RSS feeds to work on Evolution or it'd be perfect. It always crashes when adding them
