I love Thunderbird. When it went out of active dev, I switched to Postbox, assuming that they'd really get to work on the client. They didn't. They made it look mildly prettier, but stripped away a few of the good features without adding anything of value (to me, at least.)
I spent some time hopping around clients and eventually landed on plain old MacOS Mail with an extension to put the unread count in the menubar. It wasn't perfect, but it was good enough.
On a side note, I don't understand why clients don't all allow plaintext composition and a menubar inbox count.
Anyway, it's great to see TBird back in active development. It's consistently been the best email client for my needs over the years.
- ubermonkey 7y agoDoesn't MacOS Mail show the unread count in the Dock already?
- Angostura 7y agoSome people hide their Dock.
- stevewillows 7y agolike Angostura said, some folks (me included) hide their dock. I probably haven't used the dock more than a dozen times this year. I use Alfred like we'd use dmenu (or whatever) with i3.
- ubermonkey 7y agoSure, I get that. But the menu bar gets so hella crowded...
