I would like to instal MS Office Professional (ie to include Outlook) on my laptop and to make a one-off payment not pay a monthly fee.
Where is it best to buy this? Microsoft direct or another site?

Well Outlook has worked very well for me for twenty years or so. That's why I would generally prefer to return to using it.
Would you recommend any particular program to receive emails to multi addresses?0
