I’m sad to say that in general Outlook does work better in a lot of ways, but Thunderbird is making significant progress and you really can’t beat the availability of extensions.

My favorite email client of all time is actually Eudora, but Qualcomm has stopped any further development on Eudora as a commercial product. Fortunately they are contributing resources to Thunderbird to make an open source version called Eudora 8, which is mostly Thunderbird with a Eudora look and feel. Hopefully as time goes on they will implement more of the cool Eudora features and I will have the best of both worlds.

For now I am happy to have the ability to ALT-Click on a sender or subject and have all messages matching that grouped together. That means if I don’t feel like searching but I need to find a specific message from you, I can scroll until I see your name, ALT-Click on your name to have all your messages grouped together, then I can look for the subject of the particular email, and ALT-Click on that to have the entire thread grouped together. Pretty hott.

It’s also nice to be able to integrate calendar functionality with mail (using the lightning extension), something Eudora has never been able to do.

I just switched to outlook — luckily mozilla is finally putting more resources into thunderbird so it can finally compete with a full-fledged email client along the likes of outlook and the apple suite
