What are the more "trustworthy" email clients? Thunderbird still good?
New Thunderbird is great.
Is there a mobile app for Thunderbird?
Not per se, but Thunderbird is supposedly collaborating with the K-9 team to make K-9 the mobile version of Thunderbird.
Please let this be so ๐
It certainly is so :) https://blog.thunderbird.net/2023/10/thunderbird-for-android-k-9-mail-september-2023-progress-report/
They acquired K-9 Mail a year ago or so, but it's still K-9 Mail. There's plans and a roadmap, but not much has happened that the end user can see, yet.
Thunderbird has also hired an iOS app developer.
Does Thunderbird work with Exchange?
Yes but it's fiddly.
So it's just as compatible as Outlook?
the recent revamp of thunderbird is really good.
em client (commercial product, but free for some--2 mail accounts, home use only) is also a solid choice.
Personally disliked emclient and went back to outlook.
Maybe I'll consider Thunderbird in the future now that it looks modern.
Already using Firefox.
Why did you dislike eM Client?
I've been looking at it recently because I'm currently using Mailbird. In recent weeks they told us that support for their current client will stop in 12 months time and we need to get on their latest client, which they want a one off payment AND an annual subscription. What greedy ducks.
Some points I remember from the time I ditched it (around 3-5 years ago). They may changed them:
In essence, most issues were personal. Try it for yourself. Maybe the newer version suits you more than me!
Update: Seems like I either misremember it or I bought a license because of a feature (at the time). Anyway: They appear to have changed the licensing for home use to be free and only corporate users need to pay.
