This will get me loads of downvotes, but Windows 10 Mail and Calendar (not Outlook) is simple yet works flawlessly and is miles ahead of Thunderbird by usability, stability and user-friendliness. On the other hand though, Ubuntu Evolution is even better and is open-source.

I feel like Win 10 default apps just waste so much screen real estate. I've been using Thunderbird for years and while 5 years ago I would agree the user interface is obtuse the refresh that happened a few years back really improved things. I've also never had stability problems and I have thunderbird tracking 7 email accounts with hundreds of thousands of emails total (I'm a data hoarder)

Evolution on the other hand, hoo boy, I have to use it at work and despise it lol. That program gives me stability problems and frequently fails to interact with Exchange. Gives me a great excuse for missing meetings haha

All said, Outlook desktop I think is superior to both Thunderbird and Evolution, I just don't wanna pay for it

Guys try out Thunderbird 115! You need to create all your stuff new I guess, because they changed so much a lot of things broke for me, but once set up, its pretty great

Except if you set the checkbox to remember logins an don't use Gnome. Needs workarounds, devs wontfix.

Interesting... what do you like better about Evolution compared to Thunderbird? I've never tried Evolution but am curious if it's worth the upgrade to Win 11 to switch

[-] nudnyekscentryk@szmer.info 2 points 1 year ago

Evolution is an Ubuntu (gnome in particular) app, not a win 11 one
