Top 3 Thunderbird Alternatives

Although there’s a big list of Thunderbird alternatives, there are three top alternatives to Thunderbird that users can choose. Let’s explore these alternatives one-by-one:

1. MS Outlook

Microsoft Outlook, owned by Microsoft, is an incredible email client. It is available as a part of MS Office suite. Configuring this email client does not require much technical expertise. You can begin using it quickly right after installation. Furthermore, you can configure MS Outlook with the IMAP and POP3 accounts. The default file size of Outlook data file is 50 GB (Outlook 2010 and later versions). It offers many amazing features, such as spam filtering, smart lookup, etc. It allows you to attach the documents directly from your cloud storage.

MS Outlook also allows you to filter emails and set rules for managing your emails. You can also categorize the emails. Thus, automating the workflow. The notes feature in Outlook allows you to add pictures while in Thunderbird, you get only the plain text feature.

Some top features that you get with Microsoft Outlook are:

  1. Email Scheduling
  2. Quick Sharing of Calendars
  3. Flagging of Emails and Categorization
  4. Mailbox Rules
  5. Simultaneous view of different mailbox items

If you’re already using Thunderbird and want to move to Outlook, you need to convert the Thunderbird MBOX file into Outlook importable file format. For this, you can use a third-party tool, like Stellar Converter for MBOX. 

2. Mailbird

Mailbird is an email client that seamlessly works with POP, IMAP, and Exchange accounts. You can also integrate this email client with third-party applications, which makes it an amazing all-in-one communication application.

You get the featured apps, like Facebook, WhatsApp, or Twitter with Mailbird. Mailbird provides a ‘Snooze’ feature that helps to move message to a snooze folder. You can later retrieve the email message at a specific time that you set for its retrieval.

Some top features that you get with Mailbird are:

  1. App Integrations

This email client is easy to setup and you need not to follow typical technical steps. You just need to select a theme, enter your email address, and the rest is taken care of by the application.

You get user-friendly interface and some exclusive features, such as the ‘send later’ option, removal of duplicate emails, contacts, tasks, etc. You can also set the automatic reply option. Additionally, you can organize your emails based on certain rules such as setting up rules on incoming/outgoing emails, words found in the header, sender/recipient of emails, etc. Some top features that you get with eM Client are:
