Thunderbird Alternative
Thunderbird is great except on IMAP downloads from Inbox.com it is excruciating slow. Outlook 2016 downloads about 20,000 emails from my Inbox.com account in about 2 hours. Thunderbird takes many hours longer to do the same exact task. But Thunderbird has features like showing Raw Message in its entirely that Outlook does not.
Does anyone know of an alternative program that has the speed of Outlook but the robust feature set of Thunderbird ??? Thanks for any guidance. |

I use InterLink - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=interlink+...alemoon&ia=web. The owner and maintainer of the Binary Outcast site is going thru some 'stuff' ATM, but his client is available for download. I'm not sure how it compares, speed wise, with either of the other clients you mentioned as I use neither.

Thank you. I was unaware there was a Thunderbird fork.
It sounds like a great idea. While I was searching on Interlink, I found this information. https://listoffreeware.com/open-sour...tware-windows/ So I am posting it if it can help anyone else. I am curious if anyone here has used any of the other Clients mentioned in this article? |

I also have Claws Mail installed on my Win10 PC. I've been 'fiddling' with it for only about a week or so now so I don't have any +'s or -'s to say about it.

How do you install Interlink in Windows?
The files listed on their website seem to be compressed in formats for Linux / Unix ? |

It appears there is no index file and only the files in that directory are listed. The 32 or 64 bit .exe files are what you should need for a Win PC.
