- Among other things, no provisions to open non-system folders to keep different files. You can open one but it doesn't let you type or delete, or in general work on it. It's passable but very far from being similar to WLMail. :) Guest • Sep 2018 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Thunderbird have not Outlook's express / Live Mail's simplicity. Thunderbird is like evolution Light. Very detail settings. When "some" not work, you cannot write and save draft. Guest • Oct 2016 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees

- It is a fussy programme. I can't view all of my different email feeds in one inbox. The 'rules; and 'junk' filter simply do not work. All in all very disappointing Guest • Nov 2016 • 6 agrees and 0 disagrees

Apple Mail

There’s big news attached. The best way to manage email on a Mac gets even better with OS X Yosemite.
- It's a great alternative, if you plan on switching to Mac, but there is currently no Windows support, so it’s not a true alternative. ndlinn • Feb 2018 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees

It's the necessary evil for a lot of my corporate clients. Try as I might, I can't convince 'em to stray from Windows Live Mail. It's not that it's a particularly bad product, but it's a fair bit more complicated for me to configure than other newer open source products out there. I've certainly used better mail clients, and I've used way WAY worse mail clients.
