Thunderbird and Outlook Compared

This topic describes the differences between the way Enterprise Organizer Pro integrates with Thunderbird and Outlook. The Thunderbird comparison will be the same for Eudora and other email clients.

Thunderbird doesn’t support all of the features of the Outlook integration, but it does handle common tasks well. Here are the differences:

• Saving an e-mail message to file from the "File" > "Save" menu works better in Thunderbird (Outlook tries to default to RTF format for saved messages).
• The "Send" button in Enterprise Organizer Pro works equally well with Outlook or Thunderbird.
• When you’re writing an email message and need to attach a file, both Thunderbird and Outlook present a Enterprise Organizer Pro dialog for selecting files.
• When saving attached files, both Thunderbird and Outlook present a Enterprise Organizer Pro dialog for selecting a save-to location.
• Dragging/dropping email messages into Enterprise Organizer Pro only works from Outlook.
• Only Outlook has a custom Enterprise Organizer Pro button for doing "Send and Save" or "Save a Copy" of emails.
• Only Outlook lets you have a Enterprise Organizer Pro cabinet populated with your contacts.
