Mailbird Reviews & Product Details

Phenomenal product! I was on the hunt for a "Mail" replacement on my PC when the old app was being replaced with the "new" MS Outlook. I came across Mailbird and I have been a devoute user ever since. I think the biggest feature I was seeking was a unified mailbox, and from a secondary point of view, I was tired of switching between my email, Skype, and WhatsApp applications. Absolutely perfect solution, and super happy with my experience thus far. I believe I am approaching the 2ish year mark using the app. Thank you, MailBird! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I literally have nothing negative to share about my experience thus far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Mailbird's clean interface, which makes navigating through my emails smooth and straightforward, especially when compared to the clutter of Outlook. The fast loading speed of Mailbird is another feature I deeply appreciate as it enhances my efficiency, allowing me to access messages quickly without any frustrating delays. The simplicity and minimal design help me easily view and manage my emails, contributing significantly to my daily productivity. Furthermore, I found the initial setup of Mailbird to be very easy, which made the transition from Outlook seamless and hassle-free. This ease of use and swift performance are the reasons why I am likely to recommend Mailbird to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm frustrated that when I want to print something using Mailbird, I can't have a preview of what pages are going to be printed, unlike Outlook. This lack of a print preview feature makes it difficult for me to know how many pages I would have to print. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The third-party apps integration can be slow and buggy at times, that I sometimes have to turn off this feature entirely Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Decent functionality with the ability to add multiple mail boxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been a lifelong user of Mailbird and honestly have loved the experience. But their greed and tone deaf nature is getting on my nerves! I purchased Mailbird 2.0 lifetime version which they clearly said would qualify me for any future update, without any additional riders mentioned such as it would only But now I realise to use the full version of Mailbird 3.0 I need to pay again! They are sneakily using the argument that the lifetime updates were only valid for Mailbird 2.x. I mean how crafty do you need to get! To the founders reading this review - this is not how you become a successful tech company! You become that winning the trust and sympathy of your loyal users!

Mailbird connects very conveniently with Google domain. No need to set up manually for emails. Synchronizes the calendar and gives access to Whatsapp and other apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Mail format needs a little more improvement like, after reading an incoming mail, to go for the next unopened one with arrows forward and backward needs to integrated. The attachment slot if it appears on top below the subject, it would be convenient to open instead of scrolling down and then find an attachment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy to set up and use. Sets up in minutes, seamlessly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are numerous serious flaws. Printing from Mailbird is a nightmare. You never know what you are going to get. No preview window. Ambiguous "Print Conversation or Discussion" seems to do exactly the opposite and wastes paper. You can set it as default email but it won't print from other programs like QuickBooks. You first have to save your report as a pdf then attach the pdf to a new email. Templates are tedious to set up. The drafts folder fills up constantly with blank emails. I moved to Thunderbird which deals with all these issues much better but takes ages to set up features from add-ons. That will be another review. Mailbird isn't ready for prime time and they definitely should not be charging for it, I got tons of spam while using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can have many more email addresses than my last application (Outlook limited to 10) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing at the moment, it seems to have everything covered Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a very good UX/UI and is fairly intuitive. Migrating from Postbox was comparatively easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Migration didn't recognize custom signatures and mapping alias addresses is far more complicated than it should be but the most frustrating aspect is the spellchecker broke a week after paying for the highest level plan level. Their customer service on the issue has been abysmal with as many as NINE DAYS between responses and at the time this is being written, they only just acknowledged the issue is system wide and they have no ETA on a fix.

The most important reason I chose for Mailbird is that this emailclient can easily be linked to a lot of apps which make life easier. The former emailclient made it hard to link with certain apps on my mobile. Mailbird solved that in a few simple steps, so I can manage all my tasks from all my devices.

Besides that I also like that I can open most favourite apps from within Mailbird, like whatsapp, twitter, telegram, teams, etc.

There customer support is really helpfull and very fast. They think with you and try to find a solution and otherwise come up with work around.

In short, a good mail client and much more which is my default mailclient which I use every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They have to find a solution for keeping separate incoming mail and outgoing mail which is an answer on an incoming mail. Now when I answer an incoming mail, the complete mail thread is moved to the send folder including the original incoming mail.

But they are working on right on this moment so I hope it will be solved soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interface is lovely, simple and slick (when it works properly) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They pulled the rug on "lifetime" licences, they prioritise shiny but unwanted features over fixing bugs. Pricing forces most people onto the most expensive package with features many will never use or want.

I used mailchimp 2 on a lifetime license for several years and really enjoyed how simple it was for managing multiple email accounts. They then started putting more resources into the (in my opinion) pointless apps such as AI and social integrations etc and in doing this let the core email functionality slip. There is a long-serving bug that makes emails not load properly in the inbox that has made the software useless for me.

The final insult came when they released 3.0, rug pulled the lifetime licenses. I even forgave them for this and purchased 3.0 in the hope they had also fixed the bug and I could start using the lovely interface again but despite ripping off those who paid for 2.0 and cranking the prices up for 3.0 they still hadn't even fixed this bug again prioritising new features over fixes.

On top of that their sales practices seem shady, they have had a "24 hour" sale on 3.0 licenses live for at least 3 months trying to trick people into purchasing before the timer runs out (they just reset the timer every evening).

Don't believe their inevitable reply to this review that 2.x is still supported, this has been lip service only since 3 was released.

Such a shame as the interface is 2nd to none but I refuse to deal with a company that screws its early users like this and has such shady tactics to increase sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
