Re: eM Client email client

Jim,

You may want to revisit your sources. Thunderbird is being developed and
maintained. Mine updated recently.

https://blog.mozilla.org/thunderbird/

Like RPG and COBOL there have been rumors for years about its demise,
but it keeps on going.

I am not sure what stability issues you have had but my Thunderbird has
been FAR more stable and USABLE than Outlook(2013) for over a year. I
even use it with GMail and sync with Google Calendar and address book.

And I run a few addons. From the discussions I have seen, most that have
had problems with Thunderbird actually had a problem with an addon. And
it was relative easy to diagnose by methodically disabling addons until
the culprit was identified.

We abandoned Thunderbird because it's no longer being developed or

of the other products on the desktop/Laptop systems. If it were stable
that would be my first choice but we left it due to constant crashes.....
Removing Thunderbird from the system solved the issues.

Give thunderbird a try. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/

The feature of Outlook that we use the most is sorting of the inbox by

date

received, and from. I'm a bit of a troglodyte in that unlike my younger
colleagues I like my mail sorted so the newest email is at the bottom,

not

the top. I also routinely sort by the from column.

Thunderbird does this well and has a threaded view as well.

Gmail web clients are
simply awful from a usability standpoint (in my view) so that's not a
solution, as much as I wish it would be.

I love them, I prefer them to any desktop client. However, they are
different beasts. If your not ok with "just let google search the haystack"
then yes gmail and inbox are not the tools for you.
