The only solution was a complete uninstall (which of course Microsoft's installer doesn't know how to do, so it must be done manually, stumbling around in the dark), and clean install. I last saw that message 25 years ago, when Outlook was the only choice. It announced Windows was running low on resources, then exited. After getting past that a week or two later it refused to start. During the move of data from the old machine to the new one some part of Windows (perhaps Defender?) announced a file contained copyrighted material and deleted it. I was asked to help a work colleague a month or two ago. ) continually changing how they do things, and in Microsoft's case gratuitously making interoperability difficult.Īs for the Windows Outlook client - pfft. Many of the deficiencies in both arise from the proprietary providers (Google, Microsoft. But enduring it is hard.)įeature wise, both Evolution and Thunderbird both are very mature and equally capable. I realise it's necessary, they are doing their best to reduce the pain and what pain remains must simply be endured. (Lord, how I look forward to Firefox/Mozilla getting past this period. So, bug and stability wise they seem to be on par. Thunderbirds dependence on Firefox, and the current rapid internal refactoring Firefox is undergoing combine to break things even faster than Gnome.

Only being able the use Google Calendar with the GMail account sharing the same email address is a complete PITA, making it unsuitable for many applications. And as you say sync'ing calendars with Google is one of them. I've already come across a fair few bugs in Thunderbird. I swear some Gnome libraries have a lifetime of split milk, and when they change everything breaks.

And a lot of dependence on how Gnome does things, like online accounts. But the bugs particularly in the mail composer. I've been a long time Evolution user (decades, literally).
