Thunderbird needs to get to the 21st century before general public starts swapping out MS or Google mail, calendaring, and contact solutions. As it is, the GUIs on need a Jacob Nielsen-style usability revamp.
- andix 3y agoAre you using the new/beta UI already? Thunderbird still has a long way to go, but made already a huge step forward, away from the ~20 year old UI they were keeping and cherishing. I think they also need to get rid of tabs ASAP (at least disable them by default). The concept of tabs just doesn't feel right for an email client.
- Beldin 3y agoIs your problem a UI problem or a functionality problem? I'm asking, because I can understand wanting functionality (eg. decent calendar integration). I don't understand UI complaints but am willing to imagine "it could be better" (eg. UI-complaints of Gimp)... except I've used Thunderbird, and the UI does its job fine. Sure, maybe with some MS ribbon-alike thingy it would work better for some, and maybe I'm a dinosaur, but most UI changes in programs I've used the last decade were either shrug or a bad idea. So I've become very hesitant about overhauling UIs simply because they come across outdated to some.
