To be fair, most of those same features are but addons in Thunderbird. E.g. calendar is the Lightning addon. ExQuila to have Thunderbird work with an Exchange server - or go with Zimbra to get even more than Exchange can give.
For me the only reason I use Outlook is because the office forces me to. If it wasn't for that I'd have more hair.

The same for me. Work uses Lookout, I mean Outlook, and ITT uses it through Office 365.
At home I use Thunderbird. It has everything I use in Outlook, including calendering with Lightning added, and has far superior filtering and mail account configurations.

I'd like to switch to Outlook.com (mainly because Google already knows far too much about me), but switching to another email address is going to confuse just about everyone I know.
Even now people use the address I used years ago
And I'd like to keep all my stuff, emails, contacts, etc. (actually that's just it, emails and contacts), but I found out Outlook doesn't let you import or even set photo's for your contacts...
I took all photo's of all my contacts personally, because I like talking to them in person and then taking their picture personally. Unfortunately Microsoft doesn't know this word, 'personal', and only shows photo's from social networks (which I don't have, save for CodeProject).
It's an OO world.
public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}

I also use Open-Xchange[^] webmail. This is the webmail client provided by 1and1 who hosts all my domains.

It's a bit of a pain, but...
Outlook is the primary: it read, organises, and stores all emails. And it's backed up daily. It is the only application allowed to remove emails from the server, which it does when it has downloaded them.
Google Email for Android reads only - and gets about 50% of them while Outlook is running since they check at different times. That's the PITA bit. If I don't turn Outlook off, I can miss emails until the next day.
But...the android software means I get emails in Tescos. When passing WiFi hotspots. Anywhere, pretty much since my tablet is with me at all times. And that's worth a fair amount of irritation!
So why not use the android email as the master and forget Outlook? Because it enforces my rules, filters my spam, and organises everything. And that's pretty important.

Have been using this for years and it does what I need it to do.

Because I run my own mail server, I use Thunderbird as my desktop client and Squirrel as my web client for all other platforms.

I must be an old-timer, I still use Thunderbird more than anything else; not work related.
I'm not a big fan of web mail UIs, I prefer a client application be Thunderbird or even Outlook.

Right with ya... Outlook at work because I have to, Thunderbird at home because I want to.

Exactly! Online is only used if I don't have my laptop / PC / thumb-drive with portable apps / etc. with me.
Else it's Thunderbird as far as I'm allowed. Also one of those unfortunates where the office enforces all things Microsoft!

What the heck was this?? No Thunderbird? No Mulberry? You've got to be kidding!

Thunderbird is great... deserves more than to be included under 'Others'...

And what does Windows Mail mean? The Outlook Express clone that was in Vista or the Windows 8/RT Mail client? Anyway, answered assuming Windows 8/RT Mail client and checked Others to mention Windows Phone Mail.

If you wish to get to the core of the problem, the problem stems from their being no space with the apple-obsessed survey.
