How is thunderbird?

ZFR · 06-17-2007, 07:02 AM

My web-mail has got a real shitty interface so I'm thinking of switching to some email client software.
Since I'm using firefox browser, I'm thinking of using thunderbird. Anyone who used it can comment on it? Or does anyone recommend somthing else?

i use it. it works fine with me. personally its just more of your preference. personally i like the spam feature of thunderbird. spam it once, you will never see it again.

Quite good, but elieve it or not, the features of Outlook 2003 are far better, and its one of those cases where it's quite easy to argue that it better, however I will not because Thunderbird is free which is the kicker for most people.

Thunderbird is nice, and probably better than most, but as with most things, it all comes down to your uses. Are you just using it for something like hotmail or gmail email?

Is there another e-mail client out there?

Started using it and looks great so far. But then anything is good compared to what I've been using till now.

If you use webmail, you can also redirect it to a gmail account, which has one of the best web interfaces I've seen.

I use both Tbird and Firefaox as well.

Since we're on the topic, how to I set the outgoing mail to make all the recipients be undisclosed?

Shouldn't simply putting 'bcc' in place of 'to' do it?
