![]() The reason that Windows is such a malware cesspool is because too many of its users jump at installing unknown apps from i. into their computers like a toddler reaching for poisoned candy. As a person starting out in Linux, it is very important to not install outside apps into Ubuntu until you become a seasoned Linux user and know how to protect yourself. Therefore, the above suggestion is more than a little strange. You can then see which you prefer.Ī further reminder: my own cursory investigation of MailSpring shows that it is a Windows app, not a Linux one. It's just a bit of extra work setting up two instead of one. If you want to try out T-Bird or Sylpheed or any other (proper!) alternative, you can have two (or more) email clients on your system with no problems. If you've already made the commitment to Evolution, I see no reason for you to change. If you ask the old timers around here, they will warn you that I have a bad reputation for an outrageous level of safety and conservatism. So, I'd rather accommodate myself to the quirks of the app than continually install apps that might give me an extra 1% bells and whistles, but could just be storing up problems for later. I really don't like departing from the defaults because I've found that any departure increases problems with OS upgrades. Using it has the advantage of allowing Gnome to display calendars from CalDAV and WebDAV providers too, although that may be an unneeded option for you.Īnother reason that I stick with T-Bird is that it's the default client in an Ubuntu install. It's a good client, has a good user base and is under active development. You may find the link in my sig useful: Linux is Not Windows.įor sure. Linux is not Windows and the first rule of Linux safety is: don't drag bad old Windows/Apple habits into the ecosystem. ![]() windows showing the download and import of the log to your Revo Uninstaller Pro and then. Your e-mail is not something you want to be using unsupported, obscure or outside apps for (MailSpring is not in the repos-frankly, I've never heard of it till now). Boost your productivity and send better email with Mailspring. Only use clients from the Canonical repos. Since you are new to Linux/Ubuntu, I would recommend against oddball clients though, especially non-FOSS ones. It's not a big consideration, and with proper backups, neither client is risky. T-Bird still uses the old sqlite databases, which may be more "primitive" but are also easier to recover data from using other tools. I switched from Evolution to Thunderbird a few years ago because I didn't like Evolution's decision to go to a monolithic database. I find most e-mail clients to be much to my liking. Although I'm not sure I fancy moving email client again!! Unless it is an easy setup/import process into Mailspring?
