    Any outlook alternative that doesn’t look pre-dotcom? I really liked the Microsoft Mail app for its simplicity and the ability to have multiple inboxes, it’s a shame it is being replaced by outlook.

      Thunderbird still isn’t too much of a looker, but it got a lot better recently after they added the vertical layout and made a bunch of smaller improvements. I’ve been using it for a few months now (after having avoiding it for maybe a decade), and I’m pretty enthusiastic about it.

        I tried using it a while back but went back to Mail app. Will try again, esp since I’m planning to move to Ubuntu as the main os.

          Good luck! Aesthetically I find Geary to be the best client for GNOME, but Thunderbird has more advanced features and broader support. :)

        I’ve been looking at options for my older clients as MS has been pushing this new Outlook client. Thunderbird is unfortunately fugly compared to more modern looking apps. I haven’t been successful transitioning any of those older folks to using Thunderbird as it’s too different for them.

        I’ve been rolling back the Outlook installs but it’s just a bandaid. I’d love to hear that’s there’s a comparable replacement to the W10 mail app.

        There’s also Betterbird, a fork of Thunderbird which retains some user-liked features that Mozilla removed as well as some bug fixes.
