Thunderbird vs Windows Live Mail: Inconsistencies & More Comparisons
There are few other minor inconsistencies in Windows Live Mail (abbreviated WLM commonly), which not many bother to notice (and it doesn’t really matter a lot), nevertheless they can be surely tagged as inconsistent behaviour of the program.
Let us consider some of them:
Firstly, the “Print” label next to the button is missing (though it doesn’t make too much of difference but it does look odd and definitely a bug in technical terms)
Likewise, when you try to right click the title bar, you’ll see the standard menu bar, and when you try to click-off of the secondary click-dropdown, menu bar suddenly goes off.
There are several other downsides of WLM, which include lack of search options as well as other irritating bugs, which Microsoft doesn’t even accept as bugs, leave aside even thinking about fixing them.
When you consider its close competitor Thunderbird, none of these issues are prevalent. However, Thunderbird has problems with accessing multiple hotmail accounts too.
So, if you’re someone who can’t simply live without adding a new plug-in every now and then, the Windows Live Mail must never be on your cards, but if you don’t really care about these small little things and just wish to access multiple mail accounts, the Windows Live Mail is not a bad option!
