Thunderbird for Windows 10 - Full description

Thunderbird is a free desktop email client for people who want to manage mail, contacts and other online conversations from one application. It supports IMAP and POP accounts, so it can connect to many email services, and it can handle multiple mailboxes alongside newsgroup accounts. An account setup wizard can look up settings after the user enters an email address and password, while import tools help bring existing messages and account information into the program.

Messages can be opened in separate tabs, making it easier to switch between an email, a search result and another conversation without losing the current view. Search tools find messages across a mailbox, and saved search folders provide a reusable way to view mail matching chosen criteria. Filters can sort or organize incoming messages automatically; grouping and labels offer additional ways to keep busy inboxes manageable. HTML email is supported, and a built-in RSS reader can collect feed updates alongside mail.

The address book supports quick contact entry: clicking the star beside a sender adds that person, and further details can be filled in afterward. Thunderbird can also manage conversations over supported chat networks and search past chats as well as email. Before sending, its attachment reminder checks message text for terms that suggest a file should be included. For large documents, the program supports sharing links to files uploaded through online storage services, rather than attaching the full files to an email. Add-ons can be found and installed through the built-in manager, which presents information to help with selection.

These tools suit personal and small-business communication, as well as people who prefer to keep several email accounts in one place. Tabbed reading, filters and saved searches are useful for handling high volumes of correspondence, while RSS and chat features bring additional communication into the same workflow. The address book and import tools help when moving to Thunderbird or building a contact list from incoming messages.

Thunderbird is freeware for Windows, with support for Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11. Its email service settings depend on the provider, and some features, such as chat networks and online file storage, require compatible external services. Add-ons can extend or adjust the program, while core mail functions work with standard IMAP and POP accounts.

Anyone figure out how to import message filters to multiple computers. I can export message filters but no way to import them to another computer.
