  2. Outlook has been designed with high-end features, which are preferable for completely Professional / Technical users. Thunderbird came up with easy to use graphical interface with advanced features also preferable for the novice or non-technical users. That’s why people are using Mozilla Thunderbird as their default email client.
  3. Several different Add-Ons are available in Thunderbird for different useful purposes while Outlook Mac came up with inbuilt features to manage or use email profile data.
