Thunderbird cannot come close. As usual, your deep analysis and comparison is very helpful. Perhaps you should also post a dumbed-down version for people who are overwhelmed by all the factors you consider in your freeware research.

If being better than Thunderbird makes something the best, there are a *lot* of things you'd have to call the best. But thanks for giving us another window on how you conduct your "freeware research".

Your can only tell Gmail is better then TB ( or whatever ) for you. Nothing more, nothing less. Even if using TB now, I am not devoted to it as you are to Gmail. I do not think TB is better than Gmail. I do think TB is better than Gmail for me. If you think, what is better for you, is better for anybody, it makes a picture about you for others. -- Poutnik The best depends on how the best is defined.

He obviuosly thinks personal usage. But I have heard Google does not like people to have multiple accounts. I have e.g. one for personal mails, one for maillists and one for web registrations. -- Poutnik The best depends on how the best is defined. |
