Spellcheck has been broken for two weeks **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 10, 2024 **What do you like best about Mailbird?** It has a very good UX/UI and is fairly intutive. Migrating from Postbox was comparatively easy. **What do you dislike about Mailbird?** 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. **What problems is Mailbird solving and how is that benefiting you?** It does a good job at managing multiple email accounts through a single client and integrates with Google apps. ### 2. Good, but basically functionality missing **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Will H. | Web Designer/Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2021 **What do you like best about Mailbird?** I really like the ability to know of a recipient of the email actually got the email. This is the feature that sold the email client to me. The simplicity of being able to backup the email was another major factor in me moving to mailbird. It's as simple as copying and pasting. **What do you dislike about Mailbird?** A lot actually. I created rules for emails to be moved to particular folders on receiving them, just for organising things. Unfortunately this is where Mailbird fails badly. If you have multiple accounts and multiple rules you run into a pretty marjor issue. On receipt of the email, the email is moved to its particular folder. Unfortunately there is no ability to see if email has arrived e.g. a number beside the actual email accounts address to signify there is actually email there. This can cause you to completely miss important email as you are not aware that email has landed. Why a simple number cannot be put beside the actual email address is beyond me and you would have imagined that this would be a pretty basic requirement. I also disliked the Apps the majority of which are pretty basic and if you are a professional you wouldn't really use them. Another issue is the tracking which basically sold this email client to me in the first place. SOmetimes the tracking system cannot be reached which means you cant send email. I can imagine how teses things can happen but what I can't understand is why we cant be prompted to disable it. You are left to yourself to diagnose why you cant send emails which if you aren't the most technical person you could be in trouble. **Recommendations to others considering Mailbird:** Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this email client. Apart from the email tracking it has issues. I have since moved back to Outlook because of the 'Cons' I mentioned above. **What problems is Mailbird solving and how is that benefiting you?** Having the ability to say; 'yes you did receive this email' ### 3. Great overall concept but missing standard features **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2021 **What do you like best about Mailbird?** - Easy to manage attachments and images - Clean design and appearance - Easy to configure - Kudos for Zero Inbox **What do you dislike about Mailbird?** - Cannot select sort criteria such as subject, nor select ascending vs descending sort - Keyboard shortcuts such as 'f' do not work - Cannot use a key (like space bar) to scroll down within the current message without selecting it with the mouse first. - The right or left arrow should expand or collapse a folder, but instead one must use the mouse to do that. - The narrow scroll bar (popular now) is harder to select. Allow user to configure a wider old-style scroll bar. - Allow keystroke alternatives to the mouse. They are faster, easier, and better for those with carpal tunnel or other such issues. **What problems is Mailbird solving and how is that benefiting you?** Faster and more stable than Thunderbird. ### 4. Overrated **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jonathan S. | L, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 28, 2020 **What do you like best about Mailbird?** I paid for a license for this and I wanted to like it, really. There are things you'd expect from an email client that it does, but there are many annoying things about it. First, it seems to work on the cloud, so searching for email can be laborious. Then, the way it displays the results is similarly annoying and inefficient. I tried to use it for several years but eventually gave up and installed Thunderbird. **What do you dislike about Mailbird?** See above. It's been a month since I uninstalled it so I can't remember all the hang-ups I experienced but I don't miss it at all. And at one point the updates seemed incessant. Very annoying, **Recommendations to others considering Mailbird:** Consider something else as well. It may suit your needs better than it did mine. **What problems is Mailbird solving and how is that benefiting you?** None now ## Mailbird Discussions - [Is Mailbird any good?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-mailbird-any-good) - 1 comment - [Is Mailbird really free?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-mailbird-really-free) - 2 comments - [Why do my emails get stuck in the outbox?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/why-do-my-emails-get-stuck-in-the-outbox) - 1 comment - [I need a JOB!!!! let me work with you all.](https://www.g2.com/discussions/49856-i-need-a-job-let-me-work-with-you-all) - 1 comment - [View Mailbird pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/mailbird/reviews?filters%5Bnps_score%5D%5B%5D=2§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-08-13+13%3A05%3A10+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=3418ed71-2f47-4af7-a382-2f24ebd5393b&secure%5Btoken%5D=c8f183f384ccad4a4180a1c4e0806718494315c330e8e643db1c3786ea4c8af7&format=llm_user) ## Mailbird Features **Additional Functionality** - Third-Party Integrations - To-Do List - @mentions - Single Sign On - File Management - Activity Dashboard - Drag & Drop - Alerts/Notifications - Prioritization - Access Controls/Permissions - Screen Sharing - Content Management - Brainstorming - AI Copilot - File Transfer - Calendar Management - Status Tracking - Real-Time Notifications - Version Control - Task Management - Activity Tracking - Real Time Editing - Communication Management - Chat/Messaging - Tagging - Generative AI - Assignment Management - Task Scheduling - Project Management - Collaboration Tools - Workflow Management - Secure Data Storage - File Sharing - Document Storage - Task Progress Tracking - Discussions/Forums - Commenting/Notes - Reporting & Statistics - Contact Management - Video Conferencing - Progress Tracking - Mobile Access - API - Document Management - Customizable Branding **Inbox Tools** - Unified Inbox - Filters - Reminders - Notifications **Sorting & Filtering** - Attachment Search - Predefined Rules **Coordination Tools** - Calendar - Contacts - Task Management **Integrations** - Social Media Integration - Third-Party Integrations **Software Options** - Desktop Application **Time Management** - Unified Inbox - Snooze **Generative AI** - Generative AI **Email Client - Agentic AI** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration **Agentic AI - Email Management** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration **Additional Functionality** - Whitelisting/Blacklisting - Customizable Fields - Signature Management - Shared Inboxes - Email Distribution - Prioritization - Customizable Forms - AI Copilot - Mobile App - Routing - Activity Dashboard - Collaboration Tools - Inbox Management - Queue Management - Drag & Drop - Contact Management - Email Marketing - Data Recovery - Archiving & Retention - Real-Time Monitoring - Autoresponders - Multiple User Accounts - API - Real-Time Analytics - Customer Segmentation - Search/Filter - Support Ticket Management - Canned Responses - Workflow Management - Reporting/Analytics - Chat/Messaging - Response Management - Email Templates - Email Monitoring - Campaign Management - Email Tracking - Access Controls/Permissions - Spam Blocker - Alerts/Notifications - Customizable Templates - Real-Time Reporting - Tagging - Campaign Analytics - Workflow Automation ## Top Mailbird Alternatives - [Front](https://www.g2.com/products/front/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (2,451 reviews) - [Thunderbird](https://www.g2.com/products/thunderbird/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (334 reviews) - [Spike](https://www.g2.com/products/spike/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (250 reviews)
