📘 Overview

Mailbird 3.0 is currently compatible with three different types of licenses:

  • Mailbird Free
  • Mailbird Standard

    • ⚠️Currently unavailable for new purchases.
  • Mailbird Premium

This article outlines the key differences between these licenses to help you choose the one that best fits your needs.

🌟 Mailbird Premium

Mailbird Premium is our most feature-rich license, designed to deliver the full power of Mailbird. It includes everything which is part of our other plans, plus exclusive advanced functionalities such as:

    • Support for Microsoft Exchange email accounts
    • Connecting an unlimited number of email accounts to Mailbird
    • Access to all of Mailbird's integrations
    • Unlimited Email Tracking to monitor recipient engagement
    • Our Custom Apps feature which helps you access all your favorite tools directly from Mailbird
    • Email Templates to compose emails more rapidly
    • A Unified Inbox to manage all your email inboxes efficiently
    • Our ChatGPT integration
    • The ability to Block Sender for any unwanted emails

We’re continuously improving Mailbird Premium and will be adding even more cutting-edge features available exclusively to Premium users, so if you're looking for the complete Mailbird experience with maximum productivity tools, Mailbird Premium is the ideal choice.

⚙️ Mailbird Standard

Mailbird Standard offered a strong email management solution with fewer features than Premium. Customers with this plan have access to:

    • Connecting up to three email inboxes to Mailbird
    • Five emails per month with Email Tracking
    • Support for IMAP and POP3 email accounts only
    • Move emails between email accounts
    • Personal App integrations only

While it lacks some advanced options, Mailbird Standard still offers a beautiful, user-friendly interface and efficient email organization. ideal for those with basic email needs.

✉️ Mailbird Free

Mailbird Free delivers a simplified email experience, completely free of charge.

This version of Mailbird includes:

  • Support for 1 email account

  • A customizable interface with themes and color options

It does not include most of the features available in our paid plans. However, it's a great choice for customers who need a clean, intuitive email client for personal or light use. Below is a table of comparison which you can refer to.

🔄 What Are Lifetime Updates?

The Lifetime Updates add-on applies only to our Pay Once licenses. If you've purchased a Yearly subscription, then this does not apply to you.

For Pay Once license holders, we strongly recommend purchasing Lifetime Updates to ensure that you continue to receive new features and essential updates for 12 months after purchase. Without it, your Mailbird version will remain static and won’t benefit from any future improvements.
