Alpha Mail vs. Thunderbird

For the use we need, I can tell that Thunderbird works pretty well, even if we don't have a specific scenario to use it. We must simply manage our email in both directions, and Thunderbird is an easy and fast solution. For our experience it's a good software, not particularly customizable, but simple to use.

• Setup and organization of folders and sub-folders
• Email Security
• Ease of managing emails

• Not nearly as clean or nice-looking as Gmail
• Easy to navigate threading and search capability seems limited
• Very slow and clunky. I am still combing through about 10,000 emails that I'm slowly trying to delete (mostly junk/spam/transactional emails) and if I highlight even just like 20 emails at a time it takes about 5 seconds to delete them so no way to do this efficiently

Thunderbird is a software very simple to use, but efficient in every aspect. We don't have a specific need, apart to manage email in both directions, and Thunderbird does it's job in the best way. I would like to see a more friendly interface, with some colours more, to help the sight in the email searching. When we have many of them, sometimes it's difficult to find the one that we need.

• And I especially love that it's a grass-rootsy endeavor.
