Betterbird wouldn’t exist without thunderbird though. Same with all those firefox forks people are recommending, if Firefox goes under most of those would go under too.
The primary reason I hated Thunderbird, was because it would always drop authentication whenever I tried sending e-mail from my Outlook address. Yeah I can see mail coming in for my Outlook e-mail, but I also wanted to send too and I always had to go over to Outlook and deal with the awful and confusing UI to send mail.
I had just tested BetterBird’s capability by sending an e-mail from my Outlook address to one of my GMails and no issues. So, fuck Thunderbird.
Thunderbird really is terrible, but for some reason it never occurred to me to find an alternative. Just commenting here so I remember to look into Betterbird.
We know and that’s why I dumped Firefox after 15+ years.
LibreWolf and Floorp is all I have. Oh and I kicked Thunderbird to the curb too for BetterBird.
very cool. thanks for sharing this. they even have an official flatpak.
What are mobile options here? I’m not really seeing anything better on Android- Waterfox?
I’m on
IronwolfnowEdit: It’s Ironfox, I got that and Librewolf confused in my brain thingy
Also Fennec, iirc.
Fennec from fdroid, it’s just Firefox built from source
Thunderbird has always been crap. Betterbird is truly better

Thunderbird has improved a lot in recent years and I’ve been using it without problems
