    You've done it, finally Microsoft. All your effort paid off. You successfully drove me away from using any of your mail clients as of now. On top of all of the other problems I've had since Microsoft forced Outlook on Windows users just now I was typing an email and the stupid app just crashes. Goes away. Right in the middle of me typing. How professional. Launch again and the Draft is just empty. Microsoft clearly does not want me to trust them, or to use their insipid, software shaped garbage like Office.

        Unfortunately, TB fails at the first hurdle for me. Trying to access my Office365 email account, it opens a window with an embedded browser to sign in. That embedded browser blocks all cookies, so the login just redirects to an error message. :doh: On top of that, the last time I tried it, it didn't find any of the folders in my account; only Inbox, Sent, and Trash were shown.

          If it's an imap account in TB you have to subscribe to the folders you want to see ( it's a one off thing )

            Try SMTP/POP3. I'm sure MS still supports it, even for O365 email. Your credentials would be saved locally, and TB should provide them when logging onto the server and never bother you with them ever again.

              ThunderBird was too slow for me. I keep most everything and have about 7 accounts. Maybe that had something to do with it. I purchased Em Client and it has worked great for about a year or so now.

              Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than master of one.

                The bird works for, used to use Eudora but when Qualcomm made open source dev stopped and T-Bird was the only non-M$ mail client (had a nasty experience with Outlook Express) also it runs on Linux the same!

                  I am very confused why anyone would continue with gmail or Microsoft email application. I switched to Proton Mail (free) 4 years ago. NO SPAM lot of free features some you need to pay for. OK I am not promoting Proton Mail But as a Novice computer enthusiast what am I missing? 90% of the members here are way more adept at dealing with bad applications. Asking for a friend ;)

                    Because they wrote most of them?
