Alternative email client Thunderbird at 2025

[Kiriakos GR]

This week I started using Thunderbird 115.18.0 (64-bit) as my new email software.

Even latest Thunderbird this is not an equivalent of Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Part of MS Office for small business).

In the positive side of things.
Thunderbird it does have it own tool, this helped me to import folders and messages from Outlook 2010.
I had to spent 30 minutes:
1) So to stop Mozilla tracking of my client.
2) So to activate the use a separate window per message.
3) So to make Junk folder to appear 

In the negative side of things.
Thunderbird has issues with specific messages Text Encoding, there is a setting in awkward place menu ....  Repair text Encoding
But this software does not memorize this repair request per message.
Every single time you should activate ....  Repair text Encoding   

Thunderbird this missing smart design of Outlook 2010.
There is no View Source option with out opening / reading a suspicious email.

I am now testing, of how well this protects my email box, from messages them include trackers links.

I am also making thoughts to switch to Thunderbird,  over the years they were developers making add-on for it.
Nowadays Thunderbird team, this turned their back at other developers.
It might not be the most convenient software so to work with, but no one complaining that it doesn't do the job.

I am now testing Thunderbird at Home, and my Laptop.
Thunderbird, this retain three software instance's, all three using a sum of 230MB of RAM.

All that I can say, this is so far, so good.
