    Friendly reminder that Thunderbird is a great way to handle multiple email accounts on the desktop.

        I moved away from a desktop client for several years because of Thunderbird staying stuck in the 2010s, but the redesign brought me back into the fold. It’s certainly overkill for scanning through subject lines, but compared to having five tabs open …

        Bluemail is decent. But im still always looking for better.

          Correct me if I’m wrong, I very well might be, but doesn’t Bluemail do the same thing as the new Outlook for their “instant push” feature? I don’t see how else they’d accomplish that.

        It does support any good calendar using CalDav standard.

      I must say I’m quite pleased with it too. The previous time I tried it was in 2005 and it was just ok. I also recently found out about the Owl add-on. Really makes it a good alternative

      It can even look great with the Monterail Dark 2 Add-On.

      (For some reason I had to download it and then install it from the downloaded file, but it DOES work!)

      Also available in a Full Dark mode version

    The old outlook was just perfect, the new one is positively abhorrent. I swear if they force one more app to me I’m going to purposefully stop using it altogether
