I've never heard of anyone using Thunderbird, but I hear about other Firefox users all the time.

I want a new email place. FUCK GMAIL 💥 FUCK GOOGLE! I had to use MS Office for work once, it was okay. Better than Gmail by a mile. But you seriously think I'm gonna use Microsoft? Well, what else is there? If Thunderbird is alright I think I should give it a try.

I also need to find a way to make a new not-gmail email domain. No idea where to go for that. Uh, does Thunderbird have anything?

I use it as a client for a company gmail account and as an rss reader. In my opinion, it's fine. Not great, but not bad either.

The biggest pro it has for me is functionality. Mail, calendar, RSS feed reader,.. maybe even more that I do not use myself. And all of that for free.

On the downsides, I'm not a fan of the design, it feels pretty dated to me. Same goes for the UX, just navigating around gives me some 20-years-ago vibes. But that might just be my personal interpretation.

After all, it's still miles better than outlook and their "over 700 third parties" carefully watching over your mails together with you. And since it is free, why not give it a try and see for yourself?

I'm confused, Outlook has 700 third parties but you're using gmail?

Company gmail, yeah. Like, the company pays for google services and mail is one of them, which I am required to use. For my personal mail, I am a very satisfied tuta customer.
