"Fine until you need tech support"

What do you like best about Mailbird?

I like integration with productivity apps. Asana, Microsoft To do etc and that I don't have to leave the app to check in on my business social media accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mailbird?

Needing tech support. If you do you are practically on your own. Have been unable to confidently send emails since March 12, 2020 and its April 2, 2021. Sometimes they send many times they end up in draft or the outbox and you THINK your business associate has heard from you. Can you imagine the problem? an email app were the main problem is you can't send email and you can't get tech support do fix it? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good, but basically functionality missing"
2/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great overall concept but missing standard features"
1.5/5
What do you like best about Mailbird?

- Easy to manage attachments and images

- Clean design and appearance

- Easy to configure

- Kudos for Zero Inbox Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mailbird?

email tracking. That is what was important for me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mailbird?

The email can take up to 10 minutes to send with no attachments and just basic text. I sent a screenshot to mailbird team but did not hear from them. There is no efficient way of tagging emails. It reminds me of times when email was new. The support service is pathetic, to say the least. Not recommended Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Windows 10 mail incompatibility FIX"
4/5
What do you like best about Mailbird?

Mailbird has allowed me to work with all my email accounts, and my calendar, on my Windows 10 machine. This had proven to be impossible with my (albeit) ancient AOL account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mailbird?

I don't love the interface, but this could just be a period of familiarization. I also think it is a bit pricey - but I got a first-year discount. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Lifesaver"
5/5
What do you like best about Mailbird?

Mailbird is a great Windows app for mailing. It works without a hiccup and it doesn't eat resources. I've integrated Mailbird with 10+ email addresses and it really makes life easier.

I can recommend it to everyone. It's dirt cheap, I'm surprised it's a one-time purchase. The founder is making updates every month or two. This is a fully-featured app and mailbox.

Go get it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mailbird?

There isn't anything bad I can tell about this app. It's brilliant! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
