As someone who clung to Eudora with a death grip, TB is the *only* decent and stable choice for me. Some Add-ons no longer work.īottom Line: Been using TB since the beginning. 64-bit can be installed right over 32-bit but the caveat is once you move to TB 60, there's no going back to 52.x as it makes changes to your profile which are one-way.Ĭons: Running a bit behind in terms of parity with Firefox base code. Pros: 64-bit salvation finally here! More robust and far more performant than 32-bit 52.x and previous versions.
MOZILLA THUNDERBIRD FOR WINDOWS 10 SOFTWARE
If Mozilla's new offshot company that's handling Thunderbird can FINALLY get PGP right (where countless others have failed miserably), everyone will dump whatever cobbled together software hydra they've been using and switch to Thunderbird.
But, it's great to see that PGP integration is finally getting it's due in Thunderbird. It doesn't need to get more complicated than that. It's a simple word processor that sends and received email. Emails clients don't need to change much to be honest. Thunderbird has been plugging along for around 15 years+ years now in some form or another and the more things change, the more it stays the same. It's kind of sad that a lot of what used to make the era of Outlook and Eudora so pleasant was that NO ONE wanted to get saddle with crappy things like Outlook Web or the early Yahoo web-based email UI. Pros: Still the best client around bar none.Ĭons: Has lost a lot of polish and love due to Firefox being the Mozilla developer's golden child.īottom Line: There's just no substitute for a good email client as using Web UI email stinks to high heaven. 78 has had a lot of growing pains and AddOn authors are still playing catch up. I can say with certainty that TB is not only alive and well but getting loads of fixing for the upcoming ESR release. This year's culling of workforce at Mozilla made me worried too. A few years ago when Mozilla anounced TB was no longer going to be developed and put on life support, it was a tragic bit of news. It's paid off with both performance improvements and useability improvements that were long overdue. But, the Mozilla folks have enlisted a whole slew of new folks to address ancient bugs and beat the cruft out of TB. Sadly, TB 78 ESR is still stuck on LLVM 9.0.1 and Rust 1.43. Ancient bunch finally getting attention.Ĭons: Not quite as peppy as Firefox using even the 64-bit version but years ahead of where it was since just this time last year.īottom Line: The switch to LLVM 11/Rust 1.47 has made FF an order of magnitude faster. TB is still the best client out there bar none. 2021 is going to be a great year for TB and Mozilla in general. I can personally attest to the HUGE amount of improvement I've seen in the latest betas I've been playing with.
