Founder

The ease and functionality is out of the roof, specially that ui design its mesmerizing when i installed it first i was like in love with the ui and functions available.

Creative Director

Also sometimes it bugs out with my outlook email accounts, I will repeatedly get error warnings, but I am still able to receive and send emails with the account, not sure what that's about.

It is great for email offering smart unified inbox and easy to navigate. It is also a quick and responsive app.

Insurance Agent

Good price for the product. Had a few questions and were pleased with the support.

Technology Delivery Support Specialist

Mailbird can truly be an all in one productivity solution for you and your business. It integrates email, Evernote, Todoist, and more into a single application that easy to learn and fun to use.

Principal

Their support is horrible. Beginning the third week of plsatitudes and apologies, but NO FIX to a basic, fundamental requirement to sync my calendar.

Graphic Artist

Mailbird is great at consolidating all of your emails into one application. It's super simple to set up a new account.

But there is no way to contact by phone. All I get is a computer generated stupid answer to my questions.

Mailbird offers a once-off licence purchase which a great plus for such a powerful email application.

Vice Director for External Affairs

Support team is very quick to respond and are indeed helpful. Even before I got my Mailbird Pro, they have been very responsive.

President

Flawed software and terrible customer service.

Teaching Assistant

Support for 3+ accounts with an inexpensive one-time purchase of the pro version, lot's of integrated apps ranging from Google apps to Whatsapp and Dropbox. Responsive and helpful technical support.

Mail Management Software with amazing features.

Seminarian 

Great alternative to Outlook if you are looking to avoid Microsoft’s high prices. Easy to use and updated often.

Marketing

Mailbird is a good looking app, with themes integrated, there is also a dark theme. You can add many different accounts.

Freelance Illustrator & Graphic Designer

I started to like emailing when it finally look nice and pretty. If you don't need complex mailing client and looking for something good looking and useful - that's it.

Owner

Mailbird is easy to use email client with many integrations that allows us to use multiple email accounts in one unified mailbox.

Gmail

Very positive. I've received good customer service and the price is very reasonable given that it's a one-off payment.

Great email client

It's easy to customize MailBird. I have the ability to alter both the client's appearance and how it functions.

The email client MailBird is very simple to use.

Generally ok. I will not renew Mailbird no matter how low the price until they have a decent filtering system and the ability to simply delete emails.

Mailbird, not too bad, but there are better ones out there

I have many different inboxes that I have to keep track of. Having to switch accounts to check everything at least a few times a day was very time-consuming. Since switching to MailBird I get all my accounts synced to a unified inbox and notified whenever I receive an email. That makes it much easier to stay on top of my work and keep track of everything with minimal effort which could easily save a lot of time.

It just works!

I haven't been using it for too long but I like it way more than Outlook and think paying once for a lifetime license to the client is a great model that's not too common nowadays. 

Very happy I made the switch from Hey

Love that it's simplified, love that I can customize and add other communication apps like Teams, Slack, etc. but it needs less 'all Google' and more options for MS365 users...give people actual options, unlike every other tool out there (all google focused) - not every micro business likes Google!!!! 

Great for micro businesses 

In general when it works it is a good product, but it does not work consistently and is not reliable. 

Unfortunately does not always send mail

Hi Sarah, we're naturally sorry to learn of the problems you have been experiencing with Mailbird.

My colleague Shub (who you have been communicating with) still has your ticket 'On Hold' since February, as he is waiting to receive the server log from you which will help us diagnose the problem and offer up a solution.

We look forward to receiving it at your earliest convenience so that we can begin diagnosing the problem more accurately.

The Mailbird Team

Fast, attractive email client 

Amazing Software for Email Sending 

Intuitive... it just gets out of the way!

The only real option for managing multiple email, contact and calendar services from one tool

Good app, and good value for money. Still has some features to be improved 

Bailbird for manage multiple accounts

Mailbird gives me what other desktop email programs didn't, a chance to stay on top of my emails. It's fast and with the unified mailbox, emails don't get lost in the shuffle. When my team first switched, we were able to import all the email settings from the other mail program we were using. Setup was instant!

Inbox zero!

This is the third time in the last few years that I’ve bought and used mailbird. I immediately remembered upon buying it why I deleted it very soon after… upon writing their customer support really hit home these issues:
Here’s a paraphrased conversation from their support:
Me: Hi, I have an exchange account that is my school account as I am a student that needs to work with the other inboxes. It’s not a business and I don’t need business features or to pay for a business plan bc I am not a business- is there a work around? Otherwise I’d appreciate a refund. Things weren’t as advertised and not I’m being bombarded with messages within the app to upgrade to business and I don’t have a business account. 
Support: you can change the IMAP settings. 
Me: how/where/what do you I change them to? You have no docs or articles to help and your doesn’t allow me to do anything other than choose a new url for the outgoing server. I cannot even access the incoming server. 
Support: (a different person) Buy MB business! (Then proceeds in many different long paragraphs to try to sell me a business upgrade/account. 
Me: I cannot delete the exchange account as the app crashes. Once again, I am not a business and won’t be upgrading just to have my student account with my other four accounts. Please help me by addressing the other things I spoke to. 
Support: x4 more times (ignores my concerns) Buy business!! (Proceeds in paragraphs to try to sell me MB Business, pasted similar pitch…

If You Have An Exchange Account that isn’t related to a business, don’t buy this!!!

Bad, we own 6 or more seats of the business version and this is happening on all the seats. We are experts at removing email account from Mailbird and re installing them to the point that I have memorized at least 4 of our emails passwords which are 12+ characters in length with many strange characters.

Ongoing problem connecting to our ISP's imap server when trying to send emails. DOVECOT issue.....

Overall I am a Fan of Mailbird. It delivers what it is supposed to deliver beautifully. I would recommend anyone to get Mailbird. You will love it when you will be able to handle multiple tools from a single place.

Most beautiful email client with popular software integration

Natesh Feedback on mailbird

I'm a long term Microsoft proprietary software user, like most other people, and it is scary to see, year after year, how little they care about what they put out there.
Nothing I ever purchased from Microsoft worked as expected out of the box (Windows, Office, SQL, Surface Pro, SurfaceBook) - I spend almost as much time googling unhelpful error messages and trying to fix their unfinished products as I do using their products.

After a streak of problems with Outlook and many hours wasted trying to make it work as intended, I found Mailbird, which had a free plan at the time. I installed it on both my Surface Pro and Windows PC as a back-up email client for when Outlook crashed. As you would expect, I've had many opportunities to use Mailbird. It felt like Mailbird was designed by people who actually use email - which was definitely a breath of fresh air.
A week later, I bought a license (although Exchange wasn't supported at the time) to support them on this journey.
I still depended on Outlook for the Calendar integration, but having something that 'just works' as an alternative for everything else did make my suffering bearable.

Support is spot-on: they don't insult your intelligence by telling you to run 'sfc /scannow' each time you have a problem. Unlike most others *cough* they are knowledgeable about their product and very helpful on each occasion.

I have nothing but love for the underdog.

It's great to have options

Despite great reviews, a terrible product

Mailbird help me organize my various email accounts and gives me the ability to have them all in my place. This really provides easy access to my mails, help me quickly access and send emails and ensures I don't miss any emails. 

I love this email client! 

To me, this is "the little email client that could". I'm not really using all of it's features, but for my everyday use I haven't looked back ever since I first installed it.

A good email client to keep tabs on your emails

The benefits are running mltiple accounts on one platform.  THe inability to get the level of attention to resolve such a critical issue is not acceptable.  I am shopping for a replacement and would NOT RECOMMEND them if you rely on your email as much as I do.  

Great..., when it works.  

Mailbird offers a once-off licence purchase which a great plus for such a powerful email application. It has many other features which are top-notch like email tracking feature, advanced search, calendar slider.

Awesome Windows Desktop E-mail Client for all Major Services.

David M.:                                              My name is David. I'm a tier two support technician working in the IP field. And Mailbird, I give five stars.
                                                       I use Mailbird daily to take care of not only my email tasks, but my calendar, my social media integration and attachments, and also my aggregate news feed, so I can keep up with the day's trends, news stories, contacts, and electronic mail transactions.
                                                       My favorite feature with Mailbird is the universal inbox. It doesn't matter if my account is on Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Outlook, ProtonMail, whatever it may be, wherever I may have an email account, I can have all my aggregate email come into a single unified box. So I know how much email I have, who it's coming from and have a consolidated way to respond to it in a concise, clear, and organized manner.
                                                       The thing on Mailbird that I least like is the fact that you cannot reposition the social media taskbar.
