"I use Thunderbird because ______"
@thunderbird HOW FUNNY THAT THE WORD "PRIVACY" MATCHES THE MISSING WORD....

...

Privacy?
@thunderbird I have more than one account ? 

@thunderbird

Because it is free as in "free speech"

@thunderbird Actually I use Evolution... because can seamlessy connect to exchange online... (my job account)
@thunderbird
...default mail clients range from creepy to useless to questionable with security.
@thunderbird Because it has a cool mascot? 
@thunderbird bc i use different mail providers and like simple yet private experience
@thunderbird It has every feature I need, without being bloated.
@thunderbird ...because I like it. And it's stable. And nice (not a tech person, as you probably noticed).
@thunderbird It workey, and doesn't use a billion gigs of ram
@thunderbird because I'm too lazy to download something else... It freezes and crashes all the time!

@thunderbird
I like it, it's FOSS, and it's available as a Flatpak

Oh and it's not built on "web technologies"

@thunderbird because it's "the" FOSS email client. I actually don't know of any other FOSS email client. And was never annoyed of thunderbird, so I never searched for alternatives.
@thunderbird because i have no idea how to use proprietary nonsense

@thunderbird

"I use Thunderbird because ______"

...mainly, unlike Outlook, it just plain works.

@thunderbird IT's accessible to screen reader users almost since its begining and like other mozilla platform apps it takes accessibility seriously.

@thunderbird I use Thunderbird because it can, with great effort, be used as a replacement for fetchmail...

@thunderbird
I accidentally started using it when i didn't know any better, and i haven't found a good tool to migrate thunderbirds quasi-proprietary mbox format to maildir
@thunderbird cause it's simply awesome !
@thunderbird The best open source community email client with well rounded features that will fit just about anyone's requirements for personal to business.
@thunderbird Because I believe free software and open protocols are the best for the internet and Thunderbird is the best email client
@thunderbird Thunderbird makes managing my email simple and enjoyable. It’s so nice to know I have control over my inbox.

@thunderbird
... I need an e-mail client.

(And not rubbish.)

@thunderbird
Its extremely powerfull with E-Mail even if the UI is just beginning to arive in the 2020s
@thunderbird
Because I want to support open software.
Thunderbird has a strong search.
I manage several accounts very easy.
But one thing that makes me happy is all regarding privacy ..you choose to show remote images or not .. you choose to send a 'already read' notification or not ... etc etc.
@thunderbird I do not use Thunderbird because it does not support natively Exchange protocol :)
@Resurrect True, as we prefer to natively support only open standards.
@thunderbird I understand the argument but in practice if you work in a medium-big size organization you have to work with exchange protocol
@thunderbird ... it supports everything I need and just recently added support for #CARDDAV and #Matrix.
+ #thunderbird is the only truly free bird 🐦
@peter i really like that slogan
@peter @thunderbird Both Thunderbird and the blue birds are blue, but only one of them is a free bird 🐦
@peter @thunderbird
ohoooo - until now I always cursed #thunderbird for the missing #carddav integration. Now they have my evening prayer: Our pasta, who art in a colander, draining be your noodles....
Thanks for you work!
