    Thunderbird as a replacement to Outlook


    Hello All, I have Office 2010 on our home PC. Yes, I know it is ancient but it works for my wife and I. I may upgrade to Office 2019 so I can get the latest Excel, Word and Powerpoint but I may use Thunderbird in place of Outlook. I am testing Thunderbird right now with a gmail account I have but I have not migrated our main email account over to Thunderbird. I need to figure out how to convert PST files to a format that Thunderbird can use. I see a bunch of web resources regarding the conversion so I will use them once I decide to fully migrate to Thunderbird. What do you think of Thunderbird? Any negatives or positives? Do you have a better suggestion for an alternative to Outlook? From my own experience, I like Thunderbird. I have been using it for a few days and I cannot think of one reason to stick with Outlook, plus, I really don't like having to pay an annual fee for Outlook 365. Thanks, Bill

    :)

    Thunderbird as a replacement to Outlook

    Hello All,

    I have Office 2010 on our home PC. Yes, I know it is ancient but it works for my wife and I. I may upgrade to Office 2019 so I can get the latest Excel, Word and Powerpoint but I may use Thunderbird in place of Outlook. I am testing Thunderbird right now with a gmail account I have but I have not migrated our main email account over to Thunderbird. I need to figure out how to convert PST files to a format that Thunderbird can use. I see a bunch of web resources regarding the conversion so I will use them once I decide to fully migrate to Thunderbird.

    What do you think of Thunderbird?

    Thunderbird as a replacement to Outlook

    I use Thunderbird, version 78.10.1 (64-bit) and think it's great at what it does, email and calendar.

    I'm not sure it is a direct replacement for Outlook, of which I have little experience, but would recommend it as a personal desktop email client.

    Hi Samuria,

    Yes, I tried the direct import but it said:


    Thunderbird as a replacement to Outlook [​IMG]


    I think its because I have Outlook installed on my D drive vs the C drive.

    PSTWALKER has a program that converts PST to a format that TB understands. I will use the program once I figure out if PSTWALKER is legitimate. It seems to be.

    Do you like Thunderbird?
