Reply to comment by standard_staples in Mozilla plans ground-up UI redesign for Thunderbird email client this July by Hrmbee

Because people who didn't use Lotus Notes and Outlook Express don't understand how to use Thunderbird and where to click.

Notes gets a ton of hate, but I miss it.

I had to troubleshoot it when I worked in IT. It sucked mightily

I just want the UI of Notes' email app, but without the Domino server architecture, and I'd be happy.

I never had to admin it. But as a user, I liked it.

I didn't use either of those but tbh Thunderbird was pretty easy to understand right up until I realized I had no reason to use it. Transferred from my ISP-provided email to Gmail and most of my email is phone-convenient, anything that needs to be done on desktop I can get to by just typing "gmail" into my browser and clicking the first link.

While this is true, you then have all your emails in Google’s hands. Some people want to avoid that. Some people also expect more from an email client than sending and receiving emails. E.g. signing and encrypting emails, storing emails offline, custom filters, auto-reply settings, just to name a few. Thunderbird is a good choice if you like all of those.
