mqstout: Note that Thunderbird just had a giant negative in its UI in v115 as well. You can undo much of it though. UX designers, always in the race to the bottom.

Zimerius: The new outlook program that replaced the windows mail program feels a bit like a trip back to the zero's. Gone is the clean and fresh UI replaced by the clutter of your usual forum mail window. For some reason Outlook gobbles all your mails together, showing both recommendations and send mail from years and years ago. Needless to say, i want windows mail back!

I have totally disregarded the open martk mail software available and i wondered if there are any other programs that look just as sleek or maybe even sleeker then windows mail did.

SargonAelther: The new Outlook app is way better, though the full office version is still superior.

Thunderbird is not going to be as basic as the old mail app. It was simply way too basic.

Zimerius: As if it was to difficult to maintain the regular customer version besides the already existing office variant.

SargonAelther: Whenever Microsoft keeps multiple versions of something (Mail client, OneNote, Control Panel, Browsers, etc) people complain. Microsoft attempts to merge them (This new Outlook is meant as a replacement for the Office Outlook too), people complain again.

They can't win.

P-E-S: Not sure why people keep recommending Thunderbird. I've tried using it for a while, but after the third time it inexplicably reset all my mailbox setup/preferences/folder arrangements without me touching a damn thing I had enough of that, and I just went back to the web portal I was using before.

mrkgnao: I can think of one reason. I have been using Thunderbird for more than 18 years now (currently having 11 email accounts), and what you describe above has never happened to me.
