Thunderbird in SoftMaker Office 2016 for Windows

aztony · Mar 18, 2015

The upcoming SoftMaker Office 2016 for Windows will no longer ship with the e-mail program eM Client, but with versions of Thunderbird andLightning that have been enhanced by SoftMaker. In this article, we explain the motivation behind this change.

Why is eM Client being no longer included?
As many of our customers know, eM Client is not developed in-house at SoftMaker. It has been licensed from the software developer eM Client s.r.o. to SoftMaker.

The cooperation between SoftMaker and eM Client s.r.o. did not work out as we have hoped. We expected to be able to be part of the decision-making process for improvements, but the eM Client developers have their own development agenda which does not match ours.

Why Thunderbird?
We have looked at all common applications for e-mails, tasks, and calendars, and found Thunderbird in combination with the Lightning calendar the best solution.

All I will say is that they are taking too long to release the new version. 2012 lacks several features which they have fixed internally but refuse to release a new version for some reason. I see it has now been pushed to a "2016" version. Come on SoftMaker!
