Are you looking for a platform that allows you to manage all your email accounts comprehensively without needing each program separately? Then you should know that Mozilla Thunderbird is one of the best current alternatives. As its name suggests, it is software that has been developed by the same specialists who are behind the famous Firefox browser.

The most valuable thing about Mozilla Thunderbird is that it will allow you to manage many email accounts without forgetting that it supports almost all protocols within this segment. To that, we have to add features we will explain below, such as the possibility of establishing different user profiles or making backup copies of the contents.

Operation

Mozilla Thunderbird, which in its beginnings was known by some users as Minotaur, is a completely free tool, thanks to which you can send or receive emails in a straightforward and fast way. In fact, unlike other similar applications, it hardly consumes system resources, so you can be sure that you will notice the relief of using it as a replacement for separate mail clients.

We have to talk about managing multiple mail accounts that Mozilla Thunderbird allows us to perform so that you can add them all to your user profile if you have several accounts on different platforms or the same one. This is important because some email clients do not have support for two accounts of the same service, which fortunately does not happen in these cases.

We have also found its email search system especially recommendable, considering that you can search for content within them quickly, whether automatically, advanced, or manually. In this way, if you can't find an old email sent to you and you want or need to find it, you can add various information until you find it once and for all.

Visualizing all the contents stored within this client is also assured, considering that you can add tags to the messages to find them in seconds. Mozilla Thunderbird also has a kind of history, thanks to which we can quickly see all the messages we have received over time and subscribe to news services through RSS systems.

As we said before, thanks to Mozilla Thunderbird, it is possible to create several user profiles with different configurations to take advantage of them in the way you see fit. And if you have taken the time to determine the customization you think is appropriate for this service, we advise you to make a backup copy of the profiles then, so as not to lose it in case of problems.

The user interface of Mozilla Thunderbird, meanwhile, has many elements in common as it could not be otherwise with the Mozilla Firefox browser itself. It stands out for its minimalist navigation between tabs. In other words, we could say that we liked it a lot, although that will depend on each user, as the experience is quite different from other mail clients.

Keep in mind

Now, something we did not want to leave out, as we assume that appearance is an essential issue for those who have decided to use Mozilla Thunderbird as their email service, is that this program is customizable. How? Thanks to the many skins or skins that are available, you can modify them whenever you want to give them a more personal touch.

The best

Passing then to the main strengths of Mozilla Thunderbird, we must point out aspects such as the possibility of creating several user profiles, which in turn will enjoy their configuration that we can save by backup. To this, we must add the option of modifying its appearance through skins and, why not, the reading of news through the classic RSS system.

The worst

And what we liked least about Mozilla Thunderbird? In the first instance, we have to say that support for some emails could be improvable, as certain functions are missing that are either not in sight or unavailable. On the other hand, although the interface from the aesthetic point of view is manipulable, as we have pointed out, it is impossible to modify its operation, something that we would have loved.

Evaluation

In conclusion, Mozilla Thunderbird is an email client that can become an ally of excellence for all those users who do not deny internal navigation as a browser, with tabs, and so on. If you don't dislike its aesthetic aspect, you can be sure that with this service, you won't miss any of the functions you are looking for.
