Email Client Celebrates 1M Email Accounts
Article Updates
- August 2026: Reviewed and corrected. This January 2016 announcement previewed three features as upcoming; all have since shipped, so the wording now reads as a historical record rather than a current roadmap. A dead link to the referral-program help article was also removed.
Email Client Milestone: One Million Accounts!
This announcement was originally published in January 2016. The features previewed below were upcoming at the time of writing and have since been released — Mailbird now ships account import, Undo Send and contact management. It is kept here as a record of the milestone.
Wow! 1.000.000 (yes, that's Million!) email accounts have been activated in Mailbird to date.
This adds up to about 41.666 email accounts per month. Or, 1.388 email accounts per day that were added to and activated in our Mailbird email client within the past 2 years.
This is HUGE, and we want to thank all our amazing users.
We really appreciate your awesome support and we are grateful so many of you helped us along the way.
Thanks to all of you amazing users that have participated in the Mailbird Referral Program. You really have helped us spread the word about Mailbird, and it continues to be a great way for people to find out about us. If you haven't yet participated, now would be an awesome time to do so! Whenever you want to tell your friends and/or family about your favorite email client. You and your friends can also earn Mailbird Pro for free.
At the time, we shared a sneak peek of the features that were then planned to make Mailbird even better. All three have since shipped.
1. Import feature:
Importing your accounts and folders from other email clients such as Outlook, Thunderbird and Windows Live Mail was about to become as easy as clicking a button.
We were testing it like crazy and trying to break it, before we were confident enough to release it to the public.
Stay tuned on our Facebook and/or Twitter for the exact release date.
2. Surprise Feature
Yes, they did it again. Our Rockstar team of developers were working on an "Undo Send" feature. Imagine, no more embarrassing emails or typos. No more regretting that missed spelling error, or missing attachment!
"Undo Send" was in Alpha at the time and was released shortly after the Import feature, following detailed testing by our Mailbird Alpha testers.
Get more information on the exact release date on our Facebook and/or Twitter page.
3. Improved Contacts Manager
Many of our users were waiting for it, and Gmail Contacts sync was on the roadmap at the time — the next feature slated for Mailbird after Import.

In conclusion, there were tons of things in store for Mailbird and its users in 2016. Looking forward to 10 Million Accounts & beyond!
