      I know quite a lot of users likes Outlook/OWA, but just wondering, if you guys are using the same for personal email accounts like Gmail? If not, what else do you use? I am thinking of using Windows 10 default mail app to configure my gmail.

        eM Client is a fairly nice one. I've used Thunderbird before and it's ok, I've just been so used to using the web interfaces for Gmail, Zoho, and OWA that I don't know if I can go back to a desktop client.

          I really want to like the stock Windows 10 mail app. But since the 1511 update, it quit syncing Outlook.con mail (Exchange is fine)...I had to rebuild two of those 3 PC's and it fixed the problem but to me, it isn't a solution and I do not want to rebuild my main home PC just to get the mail app to work. 😞

            outlook for me, used to like Thunderbird when i only cared about E-mail. But having Calendar/Email/Contacts all in one place and syncing wins for me 🙂
            On the other hand i do only use online Gmail for personnel emails.

                      I previosuly used Thunderbird, and I liked it, but recently we moved to Outlook (Office 365), and it looks OK for me as well.

                        I have tried, Thunderbird and it works ok but for me I need to see everyone's calendars etc. Outlook is the best for how I use it. If I have to use OWA the calendaring pieces just aren't as easy to use.

                          I've not used a mail client for personal use in some time. I have six GMail accounts and just use the the web interface...

                            I think Thunderbird if I'm going to use an IMAP client. But realistically, I always use web clients.

                                    I prefer a good webmail setup at home and Outlook for work.
                                    However, this is only because we are on an older version of Exchange and the OWA is just ok

                                      Ok default windows 10 mail app- FAIL! 🙂
                                      It just get stuck most times, the last thing i did was to hit reply to a mail and the app was showing the loading info with dots.

                                      Time to check postbox, need to find out my old license and see if that still valid!

                                        postbox installed and first thing i noticed is that the app text and basically everything on Postbox is super tiny, really hard to read. Played quite some time with scaling, display settings etc, but nothing really helped. Later on found out that postbox has a settings for that- change high DPI scaling to 2.0

                                          @Ambarishrh Yeah, It's been reported as having major issues since day one on Windows Weekly. Though reports are that is has gotten better.

                                          All the more reason for consumers to stick to webmail clients instead of desktop ones.

                                            When/if MS gets multiple logins working well for Office 365, I could ditch Outlook locally.
