Evolution here. I will likely never go back to Thunderbird.

Same - Evolution offers one thing Firebird dosen’t - connecting to the work cloud Microsoft account!

If only they’d change the dumb way date time entry works for the calendar it would be near perfect.

I’ve tried basically everything under the sun, and keep returning to Thunderbird. Thankfully they’ve fixed the endless amount of performance issues with it.

Everything else is either in a horrible state, abandoned, or paid spyware that used to be a free project originally

I tried Betterbird, but had no end of certificate errors and trouble. Went back to tbird and all good again.

I had the opposite for some reason! Thunderbird started giving lots of weird errors, especially with Gmail, but Betterbird worked fine so I just ended up switching over.

Does Thunderbird have unified inbox? And how well does it deal with Exchange? Just do imap mode?

Yes to unified inbox, not sure about exchange but works well with IMAP

EAS is not implemented so imap and pop3 only. But i heard they currently work on EAS and should be arriving in the near future.

For EAS there is also a paid plugin Owl i think.

I use Thunderbird. I’m sure there might be other ones that are better, but it does the job.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
