We all love open-source software, but there are so many amazing projects out there that often go unnoticed. Let’s change that! Share your favorite open-source software that you think more people should know about. Here’s how you can contribute:
- Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
- No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
- Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.

Let’s create a comprehensive list of open-source software that everyone should know about!
Thunderbird - a brilliant e-mail program, which also handles contacts, newsfeeds, calender and more. It’s available for multiple platforms, like Android, Windows, Linux and so forth…
I switched to outlook at work. I had a lot of wierd issues with thunderbird. Like how i would sort them newest fisrt, and grouo by conversation. But then when i got a coversation and expanded it. I had to scroll all the way to the bottom to se the latest. Of the last update I got that deleted everything.
I might go back to it. But it’s not perfect
First of all, you don’t have to go back. Second of all, being perfect is a pretty high bar for any software - can you mention any on this list, or even commercial ones, that have no flaws or bugs, or could not be better? Third. I’ve used it since it was part of Navigator, and I have never lost any data. Without being tech-support for Thunderbird, I might think that you have somehow installed either a different version of Thunderbird, which makes a new user-folder. Your data might still have been there.
Sorting is done the same way in Outlook and Thunderbird, by clicking on the subject you want to sort it by. How you couldn’t do that, is beyond me…
But, as I said at first - you don’t have to go back. I guess you felt like making this post about complaining - something I don’t think that any software in this list (or beyond this list) could be above…
