Easy to set up, lots of options, ability to filter and sort - and it's FREE!!!! So similar to Outlook in terms of features, but at zero cost

On Windows, the app is massively buggy, slow, a massive CPU and resource hog, and hangs several times a day. Support is nonexistent since they do not respond to emails.

It has proven to be a very good tool for email marketing, it is easy to add or configure multiple accounts, it is easy to operate and the user interface is also good, and the best part is that it is free. Thunderbird mail is a good tool for sending HTML...

It's kind of older. Probably competes well with an Outlook 2000, or Lotus Notes style interface. It's had some upgrades, but unless you are a Netscape or Firefox lover from yesteryear, it's just not common enough to be a modern email program.

CONTROL-V or right-click and Paste will keep the cells intact. Right click and "Paste Without Formatting" pastes only the raw data, but not in cells. Read more
