Which is the better email client?

[Somnus]

Thunderbird or Betterbird.

I'm moving away from Outlook Classic because I don't use 90% of its features, so the two clients I've chosen to pick one from are above.

I think that choice would be up to you, but Betterbird is an improvement over Thunderbird.

Hello,

I miss Qualcomm's Eudora Pro for Windows.  It had a good macro/scripting language and very fast search (licensed from X1, I believe).

I used Outlook Express for years until they finally killed it off. I use Thunderbird now, it's just what I'm used to and it works.

Thunderbird is my choice. I see The Bat listed in second section. Is that still around? I used to use that way back when and really liked it. Haven't heard it even mentioned anywhere in years.

eM Client is the best!  😀👍

I've been using Thunderbird Since it first came out. I think i'm still using the original profile. I have about 400 folders and sub folders and 500+ filters.

Thunderbird is king.

I’ve been using Outlook Classic for several years and find it stable and consistent for email and calendar management.

I agree! I used Thunderbird before switching to eM Client.

I use none on your list... I use Tutanota for their strong security protocol

I used eM Client for a while, but their interaction with Outlook.com's IMAP servers (or LACK THEREOF) was a deal-breaker for me. 

And DON'T EVEN START about the "new Outlook," because THAT is a PIECE OF GARBAGE.
