• Too many problems since version 52

  jim4005/28/2017

  Pros

  Great features

  Cons

  Version 48.5 works well, but since version 52 there have been problems which are taking much too long to fix. Suggest using version 48.5 until the problems disappear.

  tarryounix11/15/2016

  Always has been and just gets better all the time.

• Nightmarishly useless

  epantel9/16/2016

  Pros

  Installs in seconds.

  Cons

  If you have an old email program on your HD, Thunderbird copies its settings and doesn't let correct them or it hangs if you try to make changements. So sometimes you can't get new messages, sometimes you can't send yours. It also wouldn't remember your passwords, you can get artritic typic them thousands of times. Curiousely, if after installing Thunderbird you install EUDORA OSE, which has a bad reviews, Eudora OSE goes smoothly,and does all than Thundebird refuses (check & send messages).

  Summary

  Unusable and useless.

• Too much options, too limited services

  epantel8/20/2016

  Pros

  Easy to configure for using at a very protected hosting.

  Cons

  Couldn' get it woiking off-line, doesn't save emails to MY disk, only on the server. Could offer to select its functions: I don't need NEWS, CHATS, etc., only email. Very unclear environment. To enable/disable some common features you can search for them hours, and you need to rededine them for each account.

  Summary

  Program that imposes its will over yours, makes very difficult, if not impossible, to choose your options. For obedient customers.

• Strange email appeared that is not on server

  RMIGHTY17/27/2016

  Pros

  Looked OK. I had just installed it.

  Cons

  I just installed it. Strange email appeared that is not on server. Said my Corel password request required clicking on link. Obvious security breach to me. I had to uninstall Thunderbird.

• Ordinary at best

  ottoblotto1/13/2016

  Pros

  It works sometimes, is fairly straight forward

  When it stops working it is almost impossible to fix. this has now broken several times and will not recover.

  Ordinary software from mozilla, not recommended really, much better out there.

• Yes and no, con and pro

  Brian Daly12/9/2015

  Pros

  Flexible, with brilliant message filters, ability to line up your mail records in a filing system with subfolders, keep folders flagged with unread or marked as unread messages

  Cons

  T-Bird inexplicably makes multiple needless copies of messages, re-marks read messages as unread, drops indexed search folders, drags feet when trying to read some messages. Find myself having to read and answer my mail OUTSIDE T-Bird, before opening it and letting it sort things. Worst still, you ask the forum and oh do they get testy! Often the first thing they ask you is, "What were you doing at the time?" HUH?

  Summary

  Needs work A lot of work. And less attitude from the forum.
