Windows 10 Email Program suggestions

I have been using Thunderbird email program on several of my Windows 10 PC's.. Lately the program is not responding / halting on ALL of the Windows 10 computers. Want to switch to another program but what? Outlook? any other free email programs other than G-mail worth the time effort?

    Use Gmail like most of us do


    If the OP is using IMAP accounts like many do, Gmail email client does not support that.
  • I use Tbird on Win10 and it is running fine. Version update (68.4.2) came out about a week ago. It didn't update addons. Maybe check your version and addons and see if that helps.
  • I use and like Outlook. The newer the version, the less I like it. Outlook 2003 was a great straightforward easy to use and understand program. Now I on Outlook 2016 and the "ribbon bar" is foreign for me making it much harder to accomplish whatever it is I want to do. But that's Microsoft for you. You can sometimes find an older version of Office on eBay that can downloaded and activated again that would work for you.

    Here are some links to reviews of available/recommended today:

  • the Windows 10 email program the is included seems OK
  • We use eM Client (with Live Mail addresses) on both of our Windows 10 laptops and have been very happy with it.

    I'm still using my NETZERO EMAIL ACCOUNT from the 60s... Displayed on MS OUTLOOK.. NetZero does have a monthly charge however... I never got excited about all of the free ones...

    NETZERO supports all kinds of different modes of use and folders etc...

    We all are creatures of habit I reckon...

    I use Outlook all the time and have for years. I find nothing to "not like" about Outlook.

    The thing I most like about Outlook is that whenever I "clean up" my emails in Outlook, the emails are merely eliminated in Outlook - but NOT ELIMINATED on my main account I can access at my email provider's website. I can go to that website to check emails that for instance, I may have erased by mistatke from the large library of Outlook email folders I normally keep on my laptop. I can also keep certain important informative emails stored for years in my account at my email provider's website with no concern for running out of space.

    I hate the email app on my smartphone: Whenever I clean up emails on my smartphone THE EMAILS ARE ALSO ERASED AT MY EMAIL PROVIDER!! :M
