I train users all the time on Thunderbird and to be honest, many people really dislike the UI/UX. Even though I'm primarily getting them to use it for security reasons, unfortunately so many of them really hate the transition from Mac Mail or Outlook. Working on that, rather than duplicate K9 Mail, would be my suggestion.
- mixmastamyk 9y agoCould you be more specific about what they don’t like? Besides another layout for widescreen I’m happy with it.
- secfirstmd 9y agoEssentially people get used to a more modern, fresh approach that they feel they get with Mail.app etc and look for something similar with Thunderbird.
- EduardoBautista 9y agoWhat benefits does thunderbird provide over mail.app apart from being open source?
- kzrdude 9y agoWhat about Elementary's mail app? It fits the description, of cloning Apple's Mail, at least superficially.
- Fnoord 9y agoFWIW, it is part of Elementary's Pantheon DE, and it is a fork of Geary [1]. Code here [2]. The calendar client is called Maya, code here [3] [1] https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Geary https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Geary [2] https://launchpad.net/pantheon-mail https://launchpad.net/pantheon-mail [3] https://launchpad.net/maya https://launchpad.net/maya
- Sylos 9y agoThere is a UI/UX update in the pipeline, hopefully cleaning things up, but at the very least it'll give Thunderbird a UI with a more modern style, similar to Firefox Photon's.
