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 daily it works fine.
I have it on my desktop, but rarely use email there. My phone uses K9, which is actually now Thunderbird also 🥸
I daily use it for work. It’s great.
Thunderbird I use each day on my Linux desktop. It’s ok, better than the others I tried.
I have different email addresses I manage.
There are probably dozens of ways to create a non Gmail email, depending on your tech level with domains.
If you want a custom domain, just purchase one at any domain seller. Example liner.me , limer.name etc, there are dozens of things you can choose from and will cost very little to a lot depending on your choice.
Then once you have that , most of the major domain providers offer email service without getting complicated. Or, you can go next level and take your new domain to one of many email companies where they hook you up. Or, you can do this yourself.
I use it, and have for decades. It’s wonderful and it just keeps getting better. Buy you own domain name, and a mail-hotel… Then you are good to go.
thunderbird is great. no complaints here. good to have your own offline copy and also to use openpgp implementation.
I use Thunderbird for a decade, not sure maybe less, but it feels like a long time. I use Thunderbird exclusively for mail. But feels like this is the wrong place to ask, isn’t it?
Also Thunderbird is Mozilla’s most successful product. Meaning it is self sustainable.
ProtonMail is fine but not super compatible with Thunderbird. Thunderbird is an email client, which can be used to connect to email services, but it’s not a service itself like Microsoft or Google offers
Yeah, anyone looking to try Protonmail should be aware of how lock-in it can be if you’re on the free account. Maybe things have changed since, but I couldn’t set up email forwarding or bring my own client, and only noticed it when I was about to change provider.
It’s pretty good, but I use SeaMonkey since it feels more lightweight
Sad it’s still not available on iOS yet…
I use Thunderbird on desktop and mobile
tbh I haven’t used an email client that wasn’t just a web interface for my personal email since like 2004. I only use one at work because we’re a Microsoft shop with Outlook/Exchange/etc.
Proton Mail is my choice for an actual email service.
We used it to read old Outlook backups at my previous employer. Haven’t used it as an active client.
