With the release of the new Mailbird referral system, you can now enjoy Mailbird Business for as long as you want by inviting 4 of your friends.
This is how the referral system in Mailbird works:
- You need to send out the invitations.
- Your invitees need to accept the invitation and actually install Mailbird.
- Once Mailbbird is installed all they need to do is enter (paste) your code and they will count as your referral. Otherwise, unfortunately, it will not work. They can use Mailbird free for one month.
- IMPORTANT: There is a limit of one reward per email address for both referrer and referee.
This is how you can invite friends -
1) Click on the menu at the top left of the Mailbird app and select 'Invite friends - Get Mailbird Business Pay Once FREE'.
2) Type the name or email address of the friend you want to invite and press the invite button. You can also scroll down on the list that was generated by Mailbird and click invite. Finally, you can also check the "invite my main contact" checkbox. Note that when you do this you will invite all contacts in Mailbird.
3) Your friend will receive an invite and when he clicks on the link he will be taken to a page with your unique referral code
4. They will then need to install Mailbird and enter your unique code. To do this they need to click the Menu button at the top left and choose "input referral code"
5. Then they need to enter the referral code in the box that is provided and click on "add referral code"
6. As soon as 4 of your friends/family members have entered your unique code, you will receive an email with your free Mailbird Business Pay Once license key. Simply insert that in your Mailbird menu under settings -> About Mailbird -> License.
You can easily track your progress towards reaching your goal of four accepted invites in the “Sent ” and “Accepted” tab.
If you have any question or issue regarding this referral program please contact support@getmailbird.com.

Honestly, I am more than willing to pay for the product. Please add the following features..
Ability to sort message list.
Ability to jump between folders. Not Alt + 1-9. A real jump by name. I think most people have more than 9 folders.
Ability to add/edit/delete IMAP folders in your Inbox tree.
These are just a few of the major missing components. The software is beautiful, but you need to make it functional as well.
I've already paid for the lifetime product. I was kinda ticked off that Mailbird searched my emails to find 5 friends for me and auto-populate an invitation request. If I want to invite someone, I will do so myself. I hope that was a one-time inconvenience, but if not, then please put something in the software to tell Mailbird to never pre-populate a friend request, and furthermore never do anything without me requesting it first.
Hi Andrew
Mailbird will never ever send email invites to your friend without your approval. If you believe that Mailbird is doing such a thing please send an email to support@getmailbird.com, since there might be a bug in your Mailbird
Tengo 5 amigos que han aceptado Mailbird, y aún no veo los meses que se han prometido. Necesito saber por qué? quiero referir mas personas, pero veo que no se cumple con lo prometido.
Honestly, i not go to pay for a mail client... is a lot of quality software FREE. THUNDERBIRD for example... why i go to pay for this? never lol
So far so good. I'm happy to pay something for quality software and Mailbird seems like it's well on its way to doing so. If someone is too cheap to pay US$12 a year for good software, then go use the free stuff. Time is money and this is a very nominal price to pay for their development time which in the end, saves me time (and therefore money). I'm not a software developer, but I am a power user. I've seen the amount of detail and effort these guys have put into this product. Do you expect them to work for free? Keep it up guys. Looking forward to the next round of updates.
There is nothing wrong with using free software, as long as it is being actively developed. Thunderbird was and is a great email client, but they stopped active development years ago. The extensions still make it a worthy client, but I believe we should do everything we can to promote an email client under active development. There might be other alternatives, but most of them are too reluctant to hear the users opinions.
My main reason for switching to MB from TB is that TB has no 64 bit support for Win 7 or 10 and Tbird is not liking Win 10 at all. So far I have zero real issues with Mailbird. Thanks for the software, guys.
Thanks Leesty! We are so happy to have you on board :D
I'm kind of bummed out that I paid for the lifetime pro licence and activated it, and the program still keeps pushing the "Invite friends for lifetime of pro" scheme. Please fix this, it's really, really annoying.
I submited several friend and two of them that i know close friend instaled mailbird froi the link in the enmail I sent but got only one credit can anyone help? I emailed supprt 48 hours ago asking for a code but no one got back to me?
Hey im, having a simmilar problem.. i have invited 5 friends they have all accepted n downloaded n are using mail bird.. it even shows me "Accepted" but i have no Pro version. Kindly advise..
Well I find window mail is free, it works as well without limitation to adding email account , I do not wish to pay because I have to many email adress. Thsi is why I tryed the friend referal,, it worked for one friend but stop after that and I know that Mailbird was instaled on my friend ssystem because I did it my self.
yea i did it myself for 5 of my friends lol so i knw its done n it shows accepted on my mail bird... also make sure the mailbird is installed.. and you create the account with the same email address you invited the friend on..
The moment you add the friends email to the mailbird install on their pc, it will show you as accepted.
my problem is i dont get any free pro months even though 5 friends have accepted my invite...
ok so after my 6th friend recommendation and install i got an email from mailbird with my license key for Pro for 6 months.. went into Options>About Me used the key and hit Continue.. and its all working fine.. thanks maibird loving the experience.
Thank you for choosing us @Brendon :D You are awesome! If you love it too, would love your referral of Mailbird to your friends too :D
6 referrals so far and many more to come ;)
You are the best @Brendon!! Thank you for supporting Mailbird and helping us grow so, in turn, we can take in amazingly valuable user feedback to continuously ensure Mailbird delivers its product and services at 110% :D Thank you x a million again!
Got the same problem......
Now, I have 11 friends with "accepted" , but I didn't get any code yet.
Also mailbird shows "(Today) ends in 23 Days" under the referral screen., that means, no PRO after that time,despite of my referrals.
Is there anything that my friends can do or must do in their Mailbird installation (yes, they use their referral mail adress to startt -> see status "accepted")

@ Daniel, mate drop a screen shot of it.. also try to submit a request with the screenshot.. i personally got an email with the code only after 3 to 4 days and 6 people accepted.. also i only posted regarding the problem yesterday and received my code today.. (also my 30 days trial had expired after which i started inviting friends)
Not sure how the mailbird guys are dealing with the free subscription thing yet.. gona invite more friends today n see what happns...
until then i guess submit request (with a screenshot showing the accepted users) n then we wait paitiently...
Regards
Brendon
@Brendon:
Thx for your reply.
Request with Screenshot: Already done (several Times), but no response yet.
That`s why i read your story here and i start thinking: ok, if Brendon gets his code after posting here, i will do so too :-)
Yes, i will wait some more days paitiently to get back an answer from the support team. Seems they have a lot to do these days......
Daniel
@ Daniel yea possibly busy with all the referrals complaints coming in.. and other suggestions.. speaking of which..
@ Mailbird Support.. Just a suggestion but do you think we could get a "Delete Invite" or "remove" option? because i have a couple of pending invites as i entered the Email address wrong haha and i dont know how to get rid of them from the list.
@Brendon: yes and it is a bit my fault...got 4 or 5 open tickets there (other problems with MB) :-)
@ Mailbird Support.. Just a suggestion but do you think we could get a "Delete Invite" or "remove" option? because i have a couple of pending invites as i entered the Email address wrong haha and i dont know how to get rid of them from the list.
-> Same here, would be useful!
ok so i just invited a few more friends and now its working fine.. after they successfully get their email id setup on mail bird few minutes later i get an email in my inbox .. attached below..
This only very randomly started today as i invited a new person at the start of the day.
not trying to be cocky or a smart ass guys.. just providing proof that it works.. but its random.. hopefully Mailbird will fix it for everyone soon
What i have done so far is only put up a post here and tried to invite atleast 1 to 2 people each day... instead of inviting alot of people at once.. maybe it will help any of you trying that..
thx for the infos brendon
Hi Daniel
We have sent you a message via zendesk regarding the referral issue.
For the functionality to delete the invitation, we have added it to our backlog. Until then, you can email us which entry you want to delete and we will be happy to help you delete the entry from our system. :)
I have reinstalled mailbird after a clean install of windows 10. Mailbird downloaded and installed as thirty day pro trial and doesn't recognise my account that I paid for and enjoyed for well over twelve months. Can this be corrected, if not I need my original account terminating then I'll consider renewal.
I just wanted to make you aware off a small glitch with this feature.
I can only see the top off the "Invite to mailbird" button.
See the attached picture.
PS. full hd resolution could have something to do here.
As an owner of a lifetime license, I will never use a referral program to get some extra months.
I would appreciate if you wouldn't show me a promotion window ever again. It serves no purpose.
I don't have any benefit of it, it's just advertisement for a product I already paid for and if I ever wanted to tell a friend about a program I will find a way to do that by myself.
