Mailbird 2.0 vs eM Client

This allows you to funnel all emails from all accounts into one unified folder, so you don't have to move between different accounts.

The UI looks simple but is customizable. UX is also simple and easy to use.

Users who only need to use the basic features of the app have a free version available, though it does limit to only 1 account. There is a paid Mailbird Pro version that does extend functionality and allows for unlimited accounts but it does cost $1.00 a month or $45.00 as a one time fee.

Mailbird 2.0 supports separate apps that can extend the programs functionality such as Sunrise Calendar, which allows one to add multiple calendars in one view or Evernote which allows for easy not taking and sharing.

This allows you to have one layout with your navigation bar, message list, email convos and productivity apps in view at once so you can work your email and productivity tools synchronously.

This allows you to easily manage all your email contacts with all critical details in one place. Create groups too. All your contacts in one place and synced with your different email contact providers.

There is no limit to the number of email accounts you can manage from Mailbird.

Allows you to preview attachments selected in an email and hit the 'spacebar' to view them rather than having to download it and open a file.

This allows you to easily import all your emails from your previous email client to Mailbird.

Helps you scan through lengthy emails to get the important parts.

Mailbird 2.0 has touchscreen support for tablets and other touch screen Windows devices which makes it easy to control no matter what kind of Windows device is being used.

Such as sorting through categories, etc.

It is free for 2 accounts and as long as you don't use it commercially. Paid version comes with support and can handle more than 2 accounts.

They've been developing and improving it consistently for years.

eM Client seamlessly integrated the Quick Text extension that was available on Thunderbird. This makes it easy to quickly auto-insert dynamic text, based on many variables, saving time and the need to tediously repeat manual text replies.

eM Client includes integrated chat, so you don't need another application for chatting with your friends. All common chat services supported (Google chat, Jabber and others).

eM Client sends straight .pdf files for fax messages flawlessly.

It saves space, unlike Thunderbird.

But only because it has no alternative.

It provides (almost) complete Gmail functionality (calendar, tasks, chat, contacts), while offering advantages of an application: offline use, more e-mail providers in one place, very good design, support, etc.
