I’ve never heard of anyone using Thunderbird, but I hear about other Firefox users all the time.
I want a new email place. FUCK GMAIL 💥 FUCK GOOGLE! I had to use MS Office for work once, it was okay. Better than Gmail by a mile. But you seriously think I’m gonna use Microsoft? Well, what else is there? If Thunderbird is alright I think I should give it a try.
I also need to find a way to make a new not-gmail email domain. No idea where to go for that. Uh, does Thunderbird have anything?
Yeah, anyone looking to try Protonmail should be aware of how lock-in it can be if you’re on the free account. Maybe things have changed since, but I couldn’t set up email forwarding or bring my own client, and only noticed it when I was about to change provider.
It’s like TutaMail (formerly Tutanota) – their security is such that it does not allow access by third-party clients. However, there are Thunderbird extensions that allow you to open a kind of web page in Thunderbird.
