Thunderbird on the other hand is easily recoverable on the rare events it does crash and more importantly user emails are safe and in a simple format that is easily recovered using just the copy command. Therefore, I recommend to people not to use it if they are interested in long term email management. I have repaired many outlook problems, and I know people lose their email, especially when they have email from way back.outlook is just a stupid like this, it is a bloated program that presents the user with lots of shiny stuff then shits in their face.
So Outlook is still my preferred e-mail and calendaring client which in itself isn't bad. The folks at Cloudmark do have a beta version of their anti-spam tool for Thunderbird, but I couldn't get it to work. I've become accustomed to the awesome abilities of the Cloudmark anti-spam Outlook add-on and so anything less just won't do. This lack of meeting invite support is a show-stopper for me so out the window with the whole kit and kaboodle.Īs a side note, Thunderbird also does a horrible job of filtering spam even after training it against thousands of spam messages and hundreds of good messages. Argh! I also tested out an add-on called LookOut that seemed to suggest it would allow Lightning to accept Outlook invites, but it too was a bust. Technically this add-on does what it promises, but it misses out on one key piece of functionality - accepting meeting invites from Outlook. What motivated me to try Thunderbird again was a new add-on from Mozilla called Lightning that promised to add calendaring functionality to the Thunderbird interface. For me, a calendar goes hand-in-hand with e-mail and so it took me all of 15 minutes to conclude that Outlook was still the better application. When I tried Thunderbird many months (years?) ago I dismissed it almost immediately because it didn't have calendar support. Sadly this turned out to not be the case. Most recently I decided to give Mozilla's Thunderbird a try to see if it was good enough to replace Outlook. The philosophy behind portable applications appeals to so much that I spend a lot of time evaluating replacements for the non-portable software that I use.
