> switching our office from Gmail's web interface to Thunderbird
For what reason? Are they planning to leave Gmail? That’s just about the only reason for an office to mandate a specific UI for email.
- zelphirkalt 4y agoEven if I had merely one e-mail account, I would make the switch, because Thunderbird is simply no BS and 10 times faster to work with, once you know what you are doing.
- agumonkey 4y agogmail used to be lean and mean, now it's bloated.. alas nothing new under the sun, and yeah in that regard TB is a massive relief.
- drewzero1 4y agoYes, kind of. We had been using a super janky forwarder setup to pass emails sent to our domain on to gmail accounts. We had some issues with it and I finally convinced the management to switch to actual email accounts. (Yes, I know there are pitfalls associated with using hosted email that isn't Gmail or Outlook in 2022.) Thunderbird ended up being an easier option than Roundcube webmail (probably in part because some users had used Thunderbird in the past). It wasn't a mandate per se but my users aren't super technical and like to all use the same program, plus local storage makes it easy to keep local backups of mailboxes.
