Outlook or Thunderbird? - GoFuckYourself.com

RayVega · 12-18-2007, 09:22 PM

I recently switched from Outlook to Mozilla thunderbird (my office uses it and i've grown to like it). man, didn't know what I was missing, It's so much faster and leaner.

What email client are you using?

Basic_man · 12-18-2007, 09:25 PM

Outlook (not express!).. never ever looked at Thunderbird. Maybe I should?

Spunky · 12-18-2007, 09:34 PM

Windows mail..creature of habit

lazycash · 12-18-2007, 09:44 PM

Hmm, maybe I should give thunderbird a look, what specifically do you like about it over Outlook?

Plus better spam control, among other little quirks.

Bojangles · 12-18-2007, 09:52 PM

Never tried Thunderbird. Sounds nice.

HeadPimp · 12-18-2007, 09:56 PM

Thunderbird, definitely.

#1 - It isn't Micro-slave made
#2 - I am betting there aren't as many viruses targeting it
#3 - It works
#4 - It is free

Yngwie · 12-18-2007, 10:08 PM

Thunderbird.. Much better.

BoyAlley · 12-18-2007, 10:11 PM

Thunderbird.

Zebra · 12-18-2007, 10:44 PM

Thunderbird + the Spamato add-on. It has been EXCELLENT at killing some of the harder to nail spam.

Swish · 12-18-2007, 10:45 PM

martinsc · 12-18-2007, 10:58 PM

both Outlook 2007 and Thunderbird.

The Sultan Of Smut · 12-18-2007, 10:59 PM

Thunderbird all the way!

D · 12-18-2007, 10:59 PM

Thunderbird for professional.

Gmail via Firefox for personal.

Mozilla > (Microsoft)^2 where applicable, imho.

Spam control is the best i've ever seen, it's fast as hell, doesn't use massive cpu like outlook (you hardly know it's running). And all-in-all the GUI isn't too different so you get used to it real fast. i think the GUI is actually a little simpler to use actually, laid out better, features aren't buried they used common sense when it was designed.

D Ghost · 12-19-2007, 07:09 PM

Thunderbird biatch

Iron Fist · 12-19-2007, 07:09 PM

G-Mail.... after losing my mail several times, there is no other alternative

ungratefulninja · 12-19-2007, 07:26 PM

I check my g-mail using Thunderbird. Made me sorry I fucked around with Outlook Express for so long.

zootloofa · 12-19-2007, 08:18 PM

I still like Microsoft.

td690 · 12-19-2007, 09:11 PM

gmail is all you need!

msan · 12-19-2007, 10:53 PM

This thread made me download thunderbird

wanted · 12-19-2007, 10:55 PM

Violetta · 12-20-2007, 12:40 AM

I use both. Thunderbird for adult, and outlook for non-adult!

draude · 12-20-2007, 12:45 AM

PornMogul · 12-20-2007, 02:31 AM

ratzingerjoe · 12-20-2007, 06:43 AM

leetd · 12-20-2007, 07:03 AM

gmail roxx

justsexxx · 12-20-2007, 07:10 AM

Outlook. Why? Because I can synchnise my agenda with my (winodws mobile) phone.

As far as spamcontrol. I have my host(isprime) take care of that.

shuki · 12-20-2007, 07:17 AM

I like and use outlook

djroof · 12-20-2007, 07:17 AM

Thunderbird of course!!!!

sysk · 12-20-2007, 08:06 AM

thunderbird here

StuartD · 12-20-2007, 08:11 AM

Thunderbird for sure.

Outlook is like a petri dish for virus'.

fardoche27 · 12-20-2007, 08:17 AM

Does thunderbird have a calendar and can sou sync it with your mobile phone?

gornyhuy · 12-20-2007, 08:33 AM

Thunderbird has some quirks I don't like, but in general does a lot better than outlook.

I haven't gotten the spam system tweaked in at all - any suggestions on that? I'
m too scared of missing real emails and losing business.

WHat is this Spamato like?

Dido · 12-20-2007, 08:56 AM

I used to use elm..
then mutt, since elm wasn't being maintained anymore since like 1832 orso

But I finally tried Thunderbird. It's pretty good, been using it for about a year now.
Though mind you, I only use it as an e-mail client, since I usually don't like the applications that try to do everything.

munki · 12-20-2007, 08:57 AM

I've been using the newer Windows Live Mail client... pretty happy with it.

Great spam protection, runs a lot smoother than Outlook used too, and GUI wise running under Vista cleaner than both Outlook or Thunderbird.

ThreeXes · 12-20-2007, 08:59 AM

T-BIRD & gmail!

Thunderbird is a huge piece of shit, but it's 1000x better than Outlook.

sniperwolf · 12-20-2007, 09:23 AM

blogman9 · 12-20-2007, 09:29 AM
