R-3 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Im looking for a free version of outlook. Thunderbird seems to be the ticket from what I have seen. Does anyone here use it? I love Firefox so I figured I would give this a shot. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerv503 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Firefox is better then Thunderbird. The browsing icon and search function is easier!! I would just stick with Firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbatman99 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I've used Thunderbird and it's great for what it does. If you also need a calendar you'll need to use Lightning from Mozilla as well since Thunderbird does not come with a native calendar program.

Nyles Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Been using thunderbird for number of years, I love it. The spam filter on it is far superior to outlook or any other I am aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
