What is Thunderbird?
"Thunderbird is a free, open-source and cross-platform mail client for most operating systems including, but not limited to, Windows, Linux and Macintosh".

I have to say the new Thunderbird was at first glance, rather confusing for me as they changed some things around. But once I started using it I soon learned that it was a good way to go.

Here are some of the features - best part is the price!

Likes

• Tabbed email - where each email you open is opened in a tab not a window (like firefox browsing)

• Smart Folders - Add multiple email accounts (gmail, hotmal, accesscomm, sasktel, yourlink, godaddy, etc) and then group them all in the folders panel to see all emails from all accounts in one inbox (with the option to separate)

• Conversations - Hold Ctrl or the apple key along when you select multiple emails from the list and a ``conversations`` window appears and groups the first blurbs of each each in a summarized list.
  

Dislikes

• I'm used to the reply\forward buttons being at the top, typically left side, of the page, in most mail software. They are now directly above the reading pane on the right

 

 

Add-ons
I also recommend the Lightning Calendar add-on.
