When Windows Live Mail departed I was using freeware eM Client as a trial but eM Client downfall is that when downloading, the program then issues one license per email account.

I installed eM Client on all 3 computers and on each computer I used the same email address----Found out that eM Client would only work on one computer and program is deactivated on other 2 computers because of using the same email address.

Hoping that TBird will work for me on all 3 computers without licensing issues like eM Client.

Thanks,

Thunderbird is free to download and use. There is no such thing as a freeware version, as that implies there would be another and presumably paid-for version.

There are no limitations on how many installations, computers or accounts you use with Thunderbird.

The only licence that applies to Thunderbird is one that governs re-use of its source code if you choose to edit and recompile it.
