hello! thank you for replying!
um... no, i don't use advanced features at all.
but this part of your message: "i only use a smart fraction of Thunderbird's capabilities", made my mind click, as it's totally what i feel as an 'intended' Thunderbird user.
for me, it feels like there are too many options, too many menus, too many buttons. it's easy for me to feel overwhelmed or distracted by the UI.
i wonder if there's some "compact UI" mode i haven't checked out, as i am a very basic email user. for me, Outlook simpleness was perfect, aside from the ads and stupid things like not being able to write an "@" (on an email client!).
I don't like that part of Thunderbird either. Seems overengineered to me.
It looks even more ridiculous when they open a tab on my browser begging for donations. Sadly I tried a couple other mail clients and none of them looked good enough so I'm still on Thunderbird. If you find anything better, please drop me a message.
i'm glad to find similar opinions on Thunderbird UI!
omg, the part of donations didn't happen to me, i think. maybe there was an option to disable it and i used it, or maybe i didn't use Thunderbird enough to make those tabs pop out on my browser.
I hope this doesn't happen often to you, because it looks as annoying as Outlook ads. i understand the Mozilla Foundation needs money but...
yes, if i find another email client that looks good, i will share it. my focus on the search would be: FOSS and simple UI.
thanks, pal!
