Windows 10 . . . which email app to use?

The_Salad

Hi, I just updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10 successfully but am a little confused which email app I should use. I still see my old trusted Outlook 2007, I also see Windows Live Mail (a 2011 application) and the new Windows Mail which looks like its best suited for tablets (I have an Acer laptop). Any ideas which would be the best for my laptop?

The Windows Mail app can only be described as grim. Use what you're used too. Whatever you were using in Windows 7 should still be running under Windows 10 (unless you prevented program transfer or have done a clean install.)

I agree the Windows Mail is awful.

As you have a copy, Outlook.

Thunderbird is free and you can get the portable version for free too

And? The user has copy of Outlook, they have used it before. Why use something new does it have any features Outlook is missing?

Outlook is fine, if that's what you're used to.

For what it's worth, I happen to like the Windows 10 Mail app. Having only ever used webmail before, I find it to be really handy and convenient.
