Such as thunderbird, icedove, mutt, gnus, mew, outlook, outlook express, etc?
- quicklime 6y agoMost of those are very niche products. The big mail clients are: Gmail, hotmail, yahoo mail, Apple’s “Mail”. Outlook is really the only outlier.
- sudosysgen 6y agoThunderbird is absolutely not niche. Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail are email services first and foremost. Most native clients do not have mail in the name.
- jacobr1 6y agoAt this point, probably most (non-mobile) native clients other Outlook probably can be considered niche. For consumer email, webmail has won.
- DRebd 6y agoWe could quibble over how we're defining niche, but looking to our less technical friends that still use a variety of consumer & enterprise tech products/services daily is quite clarifying. My close friends, whether they work @ Impossible Foods on supply chain, @ a CA high school teaching history (now remotely), or @ SMB SAAS company (Hubspot competitor, forgetting name) HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THUNDERBIRD IS.
- dependenttypes 6y agoAnd they likely think that the computer monitor is the actual computer.
- Macha 6y agoIs Yahoo Mail or Apple Mail really that different to Foobar Matrix Client (shortened to Foobar)?
- dependenttypes 6y agoIrrelevant to what I said. We talked about most products.
- marcosdumay 6y agoI guess the better point would be that they used to have, when email wasn't as widespread as it is today.
