I've never heard of anyone using Thunderbird, but I hear about other Firefox users all the time.

I want a new email place. FUCK GMAIL ๐Ÿ’ฅ FUCK GOOGLE! I had to use MS Office for work once, it was okay. Better than Gmail by a mile. But you seriously think I'm gonna use Microsoft? Well, what else is there? If Thunderbird is alright I think I should give it a try.

I also need to find a way to make a new not-gmail email domain. No idea where to go for that. Uh, does Thunderbird have anything?

Thunderbird is not a email provider, it's email client. Gmail is both a email provider and they have a webclient you can (but don't need to) use. You can use gmail with Thunderbird, I do that.

The question is what are you looking for a new email provider or a new email client?

It's okay. Maybe more disappointing than outlook in some ways. It has a weird hybrid approach where it's almost like a browser in some ways but I'm not seeing how that adds to the experience.

Thunderbird is very good and new additions are coming on a regular basis now. You can use it with any standard email service, and soon it will work with exchange and hopefully soon JMAP. There is also a mobile version.

I use it, it's fine. IDK if they offer email hosting.

Thunderbird does not currently offer mail hosting, but they are working on it.
