Overall Satisfaction with Thunderbird

We've been using Thunderbird for at least 15 years. Every day it's an indispensable tool for our email, task tracking, and scheduling. It helps us manage our incoming messages, stay on top of our meetings, and use it as a replacement for Microsoft email software. After all these years, nothing has done more to help us stay on top of the deluge of messages we receive for product orders and general correspondence needs of our businesses.
  • Email receiving
  • Email sending
  • Email composition
  • Ability to add calendar and task plugins
  • Its VERY difficult to find a good backup solution
  • We would love to see more attention paid to task scheduling and tracking
  • It would be nice to have all-in-one solution instead of having to use different plug-ins
  • Its FREE and donation based. Can't get better than that.
  • I love that we aren't giving away our privacy to Google.
  • And I especially love that it's a grass-rootsy endeavor.

Would you buy Thunderbird again?

Yes

Thunderbird is a great solution if you primarily work on the desktop. I like knowing that Google isn't snooping around my emails to sell me things I don't want or need. It's relatively easy to use, but can be tricky to install and sync with other email services like Gmail. If I didn't have a technical wiz for a partner I'm not sure I would have started using it in the first place. You do need some kind of technical ability to install, troubleshoot, and backup.
