    I’ve been using Thunderbird as my daily driver for a while now.

    • Great automation and filtering. -10$/year add-on for a complete MS suite interop for work.
    • Customized the theming.
    • Tracker blocking.
    • Calendars
    • First class Linux support

    It’s just as good as every other email client but without them reading it. :)

      Can you elaborate more on the add-on, what’s it called? I just started using Thunderbird again but at the moment only for my personal addresses.

        Probably referring to OWL plugin. However your admins can allow IMAP access to outlook365 and with tbsync, you get full integration for free. OWL is good tho too

          I am my own admin, running my small business so I am user/admin/spam receiver :). I might stick with Outlook for business for the moment. Don’t want to mess around. For private use, Thunderbird is chef’s kiss .

      OWL is good, I use it, but its calendaring leaves a lot to be desired. :/

          Yeah, it’s not a dealbreaker for me to have to load up the web UI for shared calendars, just something I feel they could improve, if possible.

      How does the tracker blocking work? It blocks remote content by default, but does it block tracking pixels when I load images? I also installed the ublock origin addon, but it keeps saying that it didn’t block anything

        By not downloading anything except text and Html the sender can’t tell whether you opened it or not. However, pressing tracked links will track you if you don’t have some privacy thingy on your browser.
