I am currently reorganising my email IDs. I am considering using Thunderbird to manage multiple emails, but I decided to get some information on Nextcloud Mail. Have any of you been in a situation where you considered both? How do they compare, and what was your decision?
Nextcloud mail is a browser based mail client. So you should rather compare it to roundcube, snappymail, …
If you have IMAP servers, then you don’t have to decide, you can use different mail clients on the same mailbox.
You may also use a combination of both POP3 and IMAP. Myself for example use IMAP on my mobile clients (Android) and POP3 on my Ubuntu-Notebook (Thunderbird).
The key to get that working is editing the Config of Thunderbird. If you config Thunderbird as POP3-Client you can edit the Settings so that Thunderbird won’t delete mails aufter downloading from POP3-Server. Also you can set in Thunderbird configs a time range after that will happen. In my case i set it to 5 days.
So Thunderbird will delete all mails on the POP3-Server 5 days after Thunderbird was downloading them and stored them localy on my Notebook.
With Thunderbird it is also easy to move older Mails into Achive-Folder.
@mouse77 What are your requirements?
