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. :/

[-] olafurp@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

That's true, I'm just happy it shows my appointments.

What's the addon?

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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
