- According to verified reviews, Mailbird offers a unique advantage with its ability to manage multiple email accounts, allowing users to connect more than the ten accounts Outlook limits. This flexibility is particularly appealing to small business users.
- G2 reviewers highlight that while Microsoft Outlook has a robust support system, Mailbird's customer service is also noted for its responsiveness, although it doesn't quite match the extensive resources available for Outlook users.
