Too many problems since version 52
jim400May 28, 2017
Pros
Great features
Cons
Version 48.5 works well, but since version 52 there have been problems which are taking much too long to fix. Suggest using version 48.5 until the problems disappear.
Summary
print problems new in 52.1.1
Hanns HoevelsMay 19, 2017
Pros
my favourite mail programm, using it for a decade
Cons
version 52.1.1 does not allow print preview, printing produces hundreds of blanc pages
Summary
if the printing bug is fixed quickly, I continue with thunderbird
This is one of the best email clients.

Pros
Always has been and just gets better all the time.
Cons
None so far that I can think of.
Summary
I would highly recommend this email client. I even use it just to backup office 365 accounts etc...
Nightmarishly useless
epantelSeptember 16, 2016
Pros
Installs in seconds.
Cons
If you have an old email program on your HD, Thunderbird copies its settings and doesn't let correct them or it hangs if you try to make changements. So sometimes you can't get new messages, sometimes you can't send yours. It also wouldn't remember your passwords, you can get artritic typic them thousands of times. Curiousely, if after installing Thunderbird you install EUDORA OSE, which has a bad reviews, Eudora OSE goes smoothly,and does all than Thundebird refuses (check & send messages).
Summary
Unusable and useless.
Too much options, too limited services
epantelAugust 20, 2016
Pros
Easy to configure for using at a very protected hosting.
Cons
Couldn' get it woiking off-line, doesn't save emails to MY disk, only on the server. Could offer to select its functions: I don't need NEWS, CHATS, etc., only email. Very unclear environment. To enable/disable some common features you can search for them hours, and you need to rededine them for each account.
Summary
Program that imposes its will over yours, makes very difficult, if not impossible, to choose your options. For obedient customers.
Strange email appeared that is not on server
RMIGHTY1July 27, 2016
Pros
Looked OK. I had just installed it.
Cons
I just installed it. Strange email appeared that is not on server. Said my Corel password request required clicking on link. Obvious security breach to me. I had to uninstall Thunderbird.

It worked well before, but now can't add new emails any
KimopouerJuly 21, 2016
Pros
manage many accounts at a time
Cons
sometimes can't receive new mails
Summary
Ordinary at best
ottoblottoJanuary 13, 2016
Pros
It works sometimes, is fairly straight forward
Cons
When it stops working it is almost impossible to fix. this has now broken several times and will not recover.
Summary
Ordinary software from mozilla, not recommended really, much better out there.
THE BEST OUT THERE AND IS FREE
wvgvbJanuary 12, 2016
Pros
It just simply does everything a e-mail application should. I also like the ability for more than one e-mail account. Good job Mozilla.
Cons
NO CONS, WORKS GREAT
Summary
The best you can buy and its free
Yes and no, con and pro
Brian DalyDecember 9, 2015
Pros
Flexible, with brilliant message filters, ability to line up your mail records in a filing system with subfolders, keep folders flagged with unread or marked as unread messages
Cons
T-Bird inexplicably makes multiple needless copies of messages, re-marks read messages as unread, drops indexed search folders, drags feet when trying to read some messages. Find myself having to read and answer my mail OUTSIDE T-Bird, before opening it and letting it sort things. Worst still, you ask the forum and oh do they get testy! Often the first thing they ask you is, "What were you doing at the time?" HUH?
Summary
Needs work A lot of work. And less attitude from the forum.
