Overall Satisfaction with Thunderbird
I have been using Gmail as my email client for about 10 years. But for some reason, starting about 2 years ago, certain emails just wouldn't download (using POP3, not IMAP). So I needed another email client to cross-reference, and make sure I wasn't missing anything important. I still use Gmail as my primary client for about 8 of my 10 email addresses.
Pros
- Successfully downloads all of my email
- Allows me to connect via IMAP so it's synced with my actual email server
Cons
- 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
- More efficient email navigation and answering = more efficient work time for me
