    "The most brilliant email client"

    Posted 2021-05-26

    Pros: -cross-platform availability
    -fast, reliable and just works

    Cons: -needs more active development
    -interface update overdue
    -no android client

    Overall: Thunderbird is the go-to email client. Having installed and used a lot of windows 10 and linux based email clients, Thunderbird has proven itself to be the most reliable daily workhorse for emailing and calendaring. Its interface is a bit dated though.
