AWFUL Thunderbird experience, alternatives?
Been using TBIRD for decades. Went to install it on a refurb'd Dell 9020 I just bought. Installed an older version, 60.9.0, same as I'm running on my older PC. I've been online since the early 90's, & have 15 email accounts I've accumulated over the years which I access via Tbird. PITA to set them all up, POP3 (prefer to imap), SMTP, security, PW's, etc., took well over an hour. Opened Tbird yesterday, the damned thing automatically "upgraded" to the newest version, then told me none of my previous set up, accounts and emails could be transferred to the newer version ("incompatible") and it DELETED ALL of that. NO warning of any kind, it just DID IT. I've reinstalled the older version, and made sure I'd clicked NEVER update. Loaded ONE account this time, so far so good, keeping an eye on it before I load the others, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of an email client better than Tbird? TIA!
