I hate tabs in an email client. If I wanted to navigate email in a browser like experience I'd use webmail and would skip an email client altogether.

Your list is pretty bad tbh.

Also, a great Chrome extension for seamless tab organization is 'Tidy Tab Groups'. It keeps your browser neat & tidy by automatically collapsing and focusing tab groups, so you can effortlessly stay productive and organized. It even works alongside Workona.

Do you recommend this browser today?

thanks man, thunderbird was what i been looking for all along

Nope, still confused as to which one. I posted a question in a Facebook MS group and was recommended 3 options.... eM, Edison Mail, and BlueMail. I watched this video hoping to find an answer and now I'm considering Thunderbird. I was soooo happy with MS Outlook for the longest time but it's a serious pain whenever changing computers or reinstalling. I have multiple email addresses for my websites and would like to keep an eye on most of them.

Actually, it has indeed solved ALL my problems!

Awesome video

Lately, outlook has started to force its users to use "new outlook" which has ads that have a paywall to get rid of,,, of course

When advertising this app please do mention that once you decide to quit using it all you're previously otherwise grouped tabs will not be restored to how they were. I wanted to give it a try, encountered multiple issues and unexpected behaviours and the outcome was? An hour wasted getting all my tabs back and organizing them anew. I Absolutely advise against that app.

Thunderbird is a jack of all trades and while the tabbed email experience is its best design feature, in terms of UI and user experience, it is a hellish nightmare. It's cluttered, complicated, an absolute hassle and very very unpleasant to look at. Finding email or getting things done in TB is as cumbersome as sifting through 10 year old mail folders in real life... and im talking about the recently "updated" UI even.

I try different clients every once in a while and then after a couple of weeks I kinda just get back to using thunderbird. It aint pretty but it works and feels like home lol

I'm trying to use v1.3x and don't have the ability to see tabs and resources at the same time as you show. It seems that there is a huge difference between the free and paid version. I noticed that you have not replied to any of the comments. I enjoyed you video and have a few questions.

thanks for the review. I am a long time tbird user but lately I have experienced 3 or 4 incidents of tbird Not recognizing my passwords for comcast email accounts. I can go directly to the xfinity website and connect to their email client, so the problem seems to be between Tbird and Xfinity(comcast). I need to move to a more reliable client.

I do NOT recommend using the horrible Mailbird email program as this developer is a dishonest and a deceitful company. This horrible company refused to honor my LIFETIME license that I had purchased with version 2 to upgrade to version 3. They now are demanding more $$$. Why? A LIFETIME license is forever and for life. Do poor developers think that a LIFETIME license is ONLY for one version to be used forever? Stay away from this terrible, cheating and dishonest Mailbird. I hope their top management knows how poorly and unfairly I am treated, these people are: Michael Olsen Alexis Dollé Michael Bodekaer Jensen A BIG SHAME ON MAILBIRD.

Yk the chrome extension of Undetectable AI really save me from writing long essays and copy paste essays

No FREE option any longer! :(

Really great reviews. You've helped me make up my mind about which to use. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

They are all terrible. And unless you want to pay to read free email, there are eternally only about 5 choices...and they are all more trouble than they are worth. It started with me as far back as the 90s, when I used Outlook Express. Well, they turned that simple software into some kind of paid subscription service that you have to eternally pay to use. From there, I spent time with them all...Mailspring, Mailbird, Thunderbird, eclient...and whatever others I am not remembering. In time, every last one of them will start acting up and give you some kind of puzzle to solve which...I simply do not have time for. If you live long enough, given the limited options, you run out of new ones to try that haven't failed you before. This time, when my Mailspring gave up the ghost, I found the answer that will work...FINALLY! Go to your web based Gmail. Tell it to "create a shortcut." Directions for that are easy, and easy enough to google up. Put the shortcut it generates wherever you now keep your email icon. Then... ...Go into the settings, and tell gmail to store your email on your local computer. Again, easy enough to find instructions. Bada bing, bada boom...now gmail itself behaves EXACTLY like an email client. Problem solved. And do not waste time feeling like a dummy. It took me 30 years before I figured this one out.

Thanks for sharing. I'm looking for the best FREE mail client, looks like Thunderbird is the best option.

What the hell is Mek?

Late comment: I only wish I knew about Bluemail earlier. Good job in describing features. It's already on my desktop.

Thank you SO much for this video. Windows Mail recently refused to sync my primary email address after working problem free for over a year. So I was forced to start looking for a new solution.

My mail app doesn't synchronize.

As innovative as writing down web addresses on a piece of paper with a pen, as great as diarrhea

Due to the requirements to restructure of my digital life to match international life, I found the Microsoft-Outlook-POP3-concentric folder approach along with its proprietary and legacy formats made efficiency and coordination between disparate devices too burdensome and inefficient. Outlook has steadily gotten less and less productive over the years due to interface changes from written languages to nested cave-dweller hieroglyphics, 1/2 the account settings need to be performed in Control Panel before adding them to the interface (and it doesn't go much better when you delete them), a proprietary contact and calendar format that doesn't sync outside of Microsoft due to field mismatches, and the now abandoned-everywhere-but-Microsoft ActiveSync. For an email client, I could care less about color schemes and other nonsense. It just needs to be efficient. The boxes I wanted to see checked for a successor were: 1. Uses the worldwide standard formats CardDAV (the industry standard for contact list entries and sending contacts) and CalDAV (the industry standard for calendars and sending events to people), and the ability to sync. These are compatible with devices' native apps and can be expected to coordinate well with future software. 2. Consolidated/unified folders for efficient IMAP account management. 3. Does not tie me to a subscription or online service to work. Those are a pain in the neck from more than a cost perspective. 4. Competent, Bayesian, anti-spam filtering. The first line of defense Anti-virus and Anti-Spam based on source lists, are performed at the email server level with viruses stripped and its spam status based on lists is written to the headers of the emails and passed unless you drop them at the server. The email client as well as Bayesian filtering notes the status written to the header as well. 5. Open source if at all possible to avoid the devious schemes people stitch together from you day-to-day correspondence and activities to be used against you. Thunderbird seemed to be the one that did best at checking the boxes. It has consolidated/unified folder support, doesn't tie me to a subscription and/or outside service, its open source, has competent Bayesian, anti-spam filtering, and uses the worldwide standard CardDAV and CalDAV formats natively with the ability to sync. Next, I purchased 3 years of shared cPanel hosting which has server services for CardDAV and CalDAV and WebDAV (use drive space on your web server as a personal drop box) which can each be used privately, shared, or be global which is wonderful for company-wide, even cross-domain, shared contacts, calendars, a private SharePoint, etc. I use Horde for webmail option because the prettier RoundCube too lame to play well in this scenario. So how well does the synching and sharing work across webmail, Thunderbird, and Android? PERFECTLY! It is a relief to know that if you make a change one place, it will be updated everywhere in your world that matters. Microsoft 365 cannot duplicate this environment and setting up new users and domains is free and requires no other coordination. Going with Microsoft 365 Business and similar is barking up the wrong tree if your collaboration requirements can be met with drop-box capabilities and not only cheaper, but also with whole lot less hassle. Another plus is Thunderbird, unlike Outlook, natively supports OAuth, which enables working with Google accounts and similar without the 2FA intrusions. That said, there have been a few disappointments with Thunderbird I had to work around. The spam comes into the inboxes flagged as spam. You can sort them by that flag and choose Mark -> Junk and they will be put into their respective spam folders, or deleted, your choice, but they should have never gone to the inbox in the first place. This results in the next issue where it notifies you of new email, even when it's spam. Rules are per-account, necessitating manually defining the same rules for each account. 1. Filer for spam messages - Filter name: Spam Filer - Uncheck Manually Run - Check Getting New Mail and select Filter after Junk Classification - Match all of the following - Add filter: Junk Status -> is -> Junk - Perform these actions: Move Message -> (select spam folder for the account) 2. Filer for Alerts, Warnings, Manusha - Filter name: Alerts, Warnings, Manusha - Uncheck Manually Run - Check Getting New Mail and select Filter before Junk Classification - Select Match any of the following and your filter parameters. - Perform these actions: Move Message local folder created earlier: Alerts, Warnings, Manusha

Hands down the BEST video on this topic so far!!! Thank you so much! This video deserves WAY more attention! 1M LIKES FROM ME!!

Thunderbird. It's pure.

Why??? Why.

One caveat of an integrated solution such as the mail app built into Windows is that if it all goes wrong you can’t just uninstall and reinstall it.

I hate that almost every email client now is following microsoft's design, i.e. force-open the mail you click on immediately without giving you an option not to do so. imagine you want to delete a mail you know exactly that it contains malware and only that one. you need to click on it to select it first and then delete it right? this design just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. yet everyone just keeps following it, it's just so frustrating.

My personal favourite is Mailspring

I am still looking for a replacement for my old Eudora client. That first challenge is importing the 10,000 emails I have archived.

TB for life!!!! Thnx for the input on the alternatives.

Mhm... My interest STOPPED when you said CREATE ACCOUNT (in workona) 😞 ... Wont give any chance to any free service with account needed 😕

What about TheBat! ?

I love your tutorial. I watched your video on the Workona workspace, i bought it and use it to this day. And I viewed 3 other tutorials on Simple Tab Groups before I found yours, and yours was by far the best. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent review, Sir!

Thunderbird has its advantages. But its interface is very dated compared to the competition. That alone is in need of a serious overhaul.

I have a problem with this - if I install this the first time then I have like 100 tabs open. Let´s say I take YT videos and create a new group and add them there, like "KZbin" . When I open this group then I see it. BUT where are all the other tabs I had open in the default window?! I see no option going back there. Do I really have to group all the tabs separately?

Windows 10 mail is excellent honestly. Tweak the settings and you can see way more mails than the default mobile view.

windows 10 mail box is trash yet i like the interface but slow

Thank you!

Just installed Bluemail and it´s already driving me nuts. Due to my business I have several Mailaccounts. At least 20 with my own domain plus Gmail. It is not possible to understand which account I´m selecting, prior to select it and open a mail. You can only see it checking the recipient. Not even on the top of the page it shows the accounts name. Instead of dispalying the accounts in a list, it only shows small icons (3 in a row). Absolutely confusing and impracitcal. Unfortunately I only found that out after setting up everything. An hour of time wasted. Also the desktop app hung up, after I pressed the button to change the layout. Very disappointing app!

Thank you for the video, Can you lead any other add on replacing Thunderbird , Owl ...

Thunderbird is the most secure stay away from the Microsoft for sure.

If you are looking for anonymity in communication, then be sure to go to the Utopia ecosystem. Here is a super reliable messenger and secure mail.

Been using Thunderbird for year. The upside are the add-ons. The downside are the add-ons 🙂 Add-ons can break when TB updates. RN I'm dealing with an issue where the add-on used to update my google calendar. Now it no longer works 😞 ... I'm always afraid to update now because I don't know which feature I will lose next. But it is open source ... maybe i'll write my own 🙂

thanks for your video

eyy where is outlook
