A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Please, would anyone like to provide the benefits of using Thunderbird?

It's open source and has lots of keybinds which make it fast and easy to use. It also has a few addons and can do GPG encryption properly.

What do you use?

I just use web interfaces.

It's a preference thing, I use web interfaces too. Some examples when you'd still want Thunderbird:

  • Customizability
  • Self hosting email for privacy/security
  • Manage multiple emails with different providers
  • Build-in Calendar to connect them all
  • Email is viewable offline & can be backed up
