Hi all. I'm just curious as to any current thoughts & experiences that anyone has had with Betterbird vs Thunderbird. Is it Betterbird really better?
I'm currently using Evolution without any major issues but I'm not enamored with it's overall look or some it's email handling methods. I'm very familiar with Thunderbird, like it & am considering installing it for comparison but just learned about Betterbird so I figured I'd ask for anyone's input on experiences with it. Any thoughts, suggestions or questions would be appreciated. Thank you.
I’ve mostly been using BB but I find the two very similar with no big differences.
I do find that BB is prone to crashing when I go to a message in my unified inbox, right click it and choose open in new tab, then click on the new tab to read the message, the whole BB just closes and I need to do over. It doesn’t happen every time and I don’t know what makes the difference.
When I am reading through my inbox messages(after opening the first one in new tab) I wish there was a “next message” button or a down arrow. If I don’t want to delete or move the current message to a folder, I have to go back to inbox and then open the next message in a tab.
Not much difference between BB and TB. Updates seem more frequent with BB and they claim to fix bugs faster. I too couldn't get on with Evolution. Another vote for BB.
Hi NickS & banger and thanks for your input. I went ahead and installed BB and so far no issues, will use it & compare it with Evo, but suspect BB will be the BB!
