  Prior to this new version of Outlook, Outlook was much more functional than Thunderbird and it wasn’t close. That being said while a year ago I’d say you were smoking dope, as of right now you are correct, new Outlook sucks.

    Ah, I have only used both a relatively small amount, and from my experience I think thunderbird is more functional, flawed though my perspective may be. In what ways has outlook been more functional, from your perspective?

  Does thunderbird still look and feel like it was designed in 1998?

    Maybe not 1998 but it definitely has a particular look. I like it though, it’s utilitarian.

  I pay for a plugin so I can use Thunderbird with the exchange server (and 2FA) my office has. Best purchase in a long time, I think it’s like a dollar a month or something, pretty cheap.

    What do you like about thunderbird?

      One thing I like is that it runs on Linux, so outlook isn’t an option for me anyway.

      I tried other mail clients but most of them don’t work with exchange servers (and 2FA)
