I've never heard of anyone using Thunderbird, but I hear about other Firefox users all the time.

I want a new email place. FUCK GMAIL ๐Ÿ’ฅ FUCK GOOGLE! I had to use MS Office for work once, it was okay. Better than Gmail by a mile. But you seriously think I'm gonna use Microsoft? Well, what else is there? If Thunderbird is alright I think I should give it a try.

I also need to find a way to make a new not-gmail email domain. No idea where to go for that. Uh, does Thunderbird have anything?

It's used in company I work in. It's pretty solid, given how much data it has to work with, although it's a bit slow. But that's probably combination of shitty workstation, huuuuge inbox, shitty local mail provider and pretty slow internet speeds...

It slows down when you have tens of thousands of emails in one folder. Archiving old emails by month helps keep it running smoothly. For some reason, it won't let you do that with gmail accounts unless you archive to a local folder though.

You don't want to know how that mail abomination is set up here... Archiving? Blasphemy!
