Mailbird is a desktop email client for Microsoft Windows and MacOS, compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11,[2] and with Ventura or higher for Mac devices. Mailbird is offered via a paid subscription, but also includes a free version[3] for both Windows and Mac users.
The first version of the Mailbird email software was created in January 2012 by Danish co-founders and serial entrepreneurs Michael Olsen and Michael Bodekaer,[4] inspired by the lightweight Sparrow email client for OS X[5] as an alternative to other existing email clients. Aside from the basic email features, the soft beta version included such features as the in-line reply, in-line attachment, a contact app, contacts search, PDF preview, keyboard shortcuts, quick reply, delete forever, etc.
In January 2013, Mailbird opened its beta to the public on an invite-only basis.[6] The release included features, such as nested folder structure, message download, English spell check, and Lifehacker and TechCrunch integrations. Connecting additional email accounts also became possible along with the ability to set a default identity.
On January 27, 2014, Mailbird 1.0 was released to the public. This version had IMAP support, keyboard navigation, and multiple account support feature. Additionally, a Speed Reader, Contact Manager, POP support, and more languages for spell check were added.
By 2016, the app had been translated into several languages, including Hungarian and Chinese. Features, such as Undo Send, Import, Custom Cover were added, and the Contact Manager was updated.[7]
On March 17, 2015, Mailbird 2.0 was released with new features, such as Email Snooze, Video Meetings, and Unified Inbox Plus. Further integrations were added for Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Veeting Rooms, Asana, and more.[8]
New integrations were later also added, such as Moodo, ZeroBounce and Google Drive. In 2019, Mailbird was updated with Filters/Rules functionality.
In 2020, new features were introduced, such as the Native Calendar, Advanced Search, and Moving Emails Between Accounts.[9]
In 2022, Mexican Spanish was added as an additional supported language, and in 2023 ChatGPT was introduced as the latest available integration for any users who wish to leverage its technology directly from inside Mailbird.[10]
On October 30, 2023, Mailbird 3.0 was released. It contained a wide range of new features and designs, along with a vast array of improvements to the overall user experience.[11] Some examples of new features include Block Sender and Email Templates.
In early 2024, an integration for Sapling was added to Mailbird, allowing users to benefit from its writing assistant to improve grammar and spelling while using Mailbird.[12] In July 2024, and Outlook Calendar app was also introduced, which works with both Hotmail and Outlook email accounts, as well as third party Exchange providers which support Outlook (such as GoDaddy's Exchange support).[13]
Following an Early Access phase which ended on September 13, 2024,[14] Mailbird released Mailbird Next (V. 1.0.3) on October 14, 2024.[15]
Along with core functionalities which an email client offers, such as sending, receiving and managing emails, Mailbird offers a range of other features, such as Email Tracking, numerous app integrations for popular apps (e.g. ChatGPT, WhatsApp, Facebook, etc.), and support for Microsoft Exchange accounts. Mailbird supports IMAP and POP3 accounts from different email providers, such as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, Exchange, etc. The calendar feature provides typical views by day, week, and month and can also be opened in the inbox sidebar.
Email Snooze[16] provides users with an option to remove an email from the inbox for a set period of time. The snoozed email will return to the top of the inbox once a defined timer runs out. The Speed Reader feature shows the email text word-by-word on a blank screen. The speed can be adjusted. In-line reply is a default option in Mailbird[17] that allows for adding comments to parts of an email. Comments are automatically highlighted, and the responder's name is added.
Mailbird has a built-in browser that opens web applications inside its interface.[18] The add-ons are organized inside a store-like section, in which the apps are installed by simply marking a checkbox.
On October 14, 2024, Mailbird released its first public version of its macOS email client, called Mailbird for Mac (later renamed Mailbird Next). Built using Avalonia's open source framework, Mailbird Next license owners currently have access to features such as:

Electronic mail (usually shortened to email; alternatively hyphenated e-mail) is a method of transmitting and receiving digital messages using electronic devices over a computer network. It was conceived in the late–20th century as the digital version of, or counterpart to, mail (hence e- + mail). Email is a ubiquitous and very widely used communication medium; in current use, an email address (commonly local-part + @ + domain name) is often treated as a basic and necessary part of many processes in business, commerce, government, education, entertainment, and other spheres of daily life in most countries. Email operates across computer networks, primarily the Internet, and also local area networks. Today's email systems are based on a store-and-forward model. Email servers accept, forward, deliver, and store messages. Neither the users nor their computers are required to be online simultaneously; they need to connect, typically to a mail server or a webmail interface to send or receive messages or download it. Originally a text-only ASCII communications medium, Internet email was extended by MIME to carry text in expanded character sets and multimedia content such as images. International email, with internationalized email addresses using UTF-8, is standardized but not widely adopted.
An email client, email reader, message user agent (MUA), or mail user agent is a computer program used to access and manage a user's email. A web application which provides message management, composition, and reception functions may act as a webmail client, and a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client may also use the term.
Mozilla Thunderbird is a free and open-source personal information manager primarily used as an e-mail client with a calendar and contactbook, as well as an RSS feed reader, chat client (IRC/XMPP/Matrix), and news client. Operated by MZLA Technologies Corporation, a subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation, Thunderbird is an independent, community-driven project that is managed and overseen by the Thunderbird Council, which is elected by the Thunderbird community. As a cross-platform application, Thunderbird is available for Windows, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenIndiana, Android, and Linux. The project strategy was originally modeled after that of Mozilla's Firefox, and Thunderbird is an interface built on top of that web browser.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
