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?

There are many freely available email clients. Outlook is aimed at businesses and is overkill for home users.
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
