Softonic review

Improved version of Mozilla Thunderbird

Betterbird is a free and open-source email client claimed to be better than Mozilla Thunderbird, especially with tons of fresh features applied and many bug errors fixed. The functions that have long been requested by Thunderbird users can now be experienced with this soft fork version.  

It aims to always provide a finer user experience. The edge of Betterbird among other fork competitors is that it closely follows the Thunderbird Extended Support Releases (ESR) allowing itself to accurately avoid the initial mistakes employed. Also, saving users from any security vulnerabilities.

Betterbird vs. Mozilla Thunderbird

Betterbird has confidently presented three reasons as to why it is a much better email companion than Thunderbird. For one, exclusive new features will especially be granted to its users. Second, the bug fixes that it implements are more often up to date as compared to other fork competitors. Lastly, it even demonstrates prospective solutions that the original Thunderbird client will possibly ship at a later stage. 

To put it in a simpler context, this software always ensures that they're always one step ahead if not, they're on track on whatever Thunderbird is planning to release or revamp in their service. Frankly speaking, this open-source tool is already in the foreground feature-wise. Some of the most requested functions that it offers but Thunderbird doesn’t is the Multiline view often seen in Outlook, Lotus Notes, and Postbox clients. 

Furthermore, you will also have the authority to customize the header pane buttons, perform complex search terms, do quick filters for untagged messages, and even permanently decrypt emails. It also supports the attachment of recent files while showing its correct details while Mozilla Thunderbird is still lacking in this area. The only drawback that it has is the absence of its flatpak version which can cater to more computer users. 

Anticipate a more fine-tuned user experience

Betterbird, as its title suggests, is definitely a much better download than the original email client, Mozilla Thunderbird. Truckloads of the most requested features are exclusively available here. Among its other fork competitors, on the other hand, it is still leading whether performance or feature-wise. It scrupulously keeps tabs on Thunderbird’s ESR to make sure that they aren’t missing or even lagging behind. 

PROS
