Tangent, apologies! But vaguely related to topic of mail migrations.

What are people using as desktop mail clients on Windows?

I think I'm finally ready to drop outlook

- keyboard navigation is shit - modal dialogues everywhere - obstinate about headers on outbound mail

I had a look at emClient but the trial ran out before I could evaluate it, lol. I'll spend money but not without evaluating it first.

I need: - good search - flexibility of outbound "from" address - strong rules and filters. Ability to run external script on an incoming mail would be a game changer.

Thunderbird is too graphically ugly for my eyeballs. I want a product that looks like it was developed after 2003...



Getting used to Thunderbird's appearance is probably worth it. It's just a question of habit and the UI itself is very efficient.

It can be customized, too, I think, but I have never bothered with this.

It seems to fulfill your requirements.


I use Postbox on Windows at least. Have done for years. Far from perfect, based on Thunderbird so under the hood pretty solid, and looks and feels better mostly.
