    I honestly don’t understand the love for Thunderbird… Tried it for a few months, loved it entirely until I discovered it was fucking losing days worth of emails

    Lost, as in, nowhere to be found, no search or manual browse would find them, no way of restoring them. Had to go into OWA to see the missing emails

    Then apparently I found out it’s a known bug

    I’m sorry but I would trade every bell and whistle for an email client that does not fucking lose your email

      Gmail has a bad habit of losing my emails anyway. Maybe yours too if you ever used Google Inbox.

      I migrated my main account to Inbox and it was honestly the best email experience I’ve had. Unfortunately, the forced migration following its collapse left my Gmail riddled with problems.

      Granted, it’s not losing days worth of email. It just occasionally attempts to automatically categorize emails into categories that don’t exist, removing them from my inbox and leaving them in a weird uncategorized limbo space. Once there, I have to search for them specifically before they will show up anywhere.

      The worst part is, it is so inconsistent that I have no clue when to expect it. I have missed major bills this way.

      I have a coworker who is also an Inbox refugee. He is the only other person I’ve met with identical Gmail issues.

        Victim of the Inbox move myself… Same as it happens with Thunderbird, I started noticing something amiss when searching for emails I was certain I had were coming back empty

        At first I thought my memory was not as good as I expected… But then realized what was going on
