This new Windows 10 Mail app, which comes preinstalled along with Calendar, is actually part of the free version of Microsoft’s Office Mobile. It’s hard to deny that on paper, Outlook is the better of the two apps. It’s a business-grade tool that has considerably more features. But more features don’t. With Mail and Calendar for Windows 10, you can access all of your email accounts, including Gmail, Yahoo, Microsoft , replace.me, and your work or school.

Windows 10 mail vs outlook free

Too bad tasks aren’t supported on Mobile anymore. I was under the impression that it outlook does not have two way sync for gmail calendar and contacts. Which is a big problem for me. Is this accurate? If so is there a work around? Otherwise I would explicitly use Outlook for all my email too. With a Google Apps account there is the Google Sync application that works well for me. There is no equivalent for the free Gmail service.

That said, there appears to be a new plugin for Outlook that enables 2-way sync of calendar events and contacts. I haven’t tried it, so caveat emptor. I do not use google, except for a junk email address.

Our campus is Office What about the online web version of Outlook. Bot Windows Mail and Outlook are only apps to access emails. Those apps require that you have gotten an email addresses from an email provider such as Outlook. Nope, both Mail and Outlook support email accounts from other providers. Not only that but both will sync mail from Exchange as well. Actually, Outlook.

Things that worked perfectly are now in shambles. The website is all I use because of many emails that won’t display properly in the Mail program and also it doesn’t delete emails of the server when deleted from Mail either. Interesting the author calls it windows mail. I call outlook it oulook mail and calendar windows store app.

Because the app is essentially the same as outlook mail for windows 10 mobile. Outlook mail in this article is really the outlook mail desktop app. I think the app should be called outlook mail UWP or Outlook basic.

I think the apps are more than adequate than for daily use or use multiple times a day. For personal bit also business use. I think that if three features could be carried over from the desktop to the windows store app it would be a great compromise between business and personal use. To be able to drag and drop an email as a calendar event. This has in my experience ben a powerful feature with outlook throughout its history 2. Be able to add rules to incoming email.

This would help prioritize and order email into manageable folders. The system chosen now for the user is to read all incoming mail in the list and swipe manage them one by one. But this does not work well in the long run in my experience.

Be able to personalize colors and highlighting of calender events from multiple accounts in one calendar. A color palette is now automatically designated, but this causes an awful patchwork of font colors and highlighting and loss of oversight, essentially becoming dysfunctional.

In my experience the syncing is generally okay and works quite well with the same account on multiple windows mobile devices. There are some glitches sometimes with syncing, bit it usually is more with syncing folders than syncing sent messages or my inbox.

Main issue than syncing of folders is a bit slow, not that it does not work in my experience. Coming from outlook mail windows store app from windows 8 this app is much better in many ways. Especially the calendar has changed alot. But even this accompli version could use many improvements. I think in the UI design is not good.

Texts on the calendar could use improved wrapping with little to no text cut offs. And the earlier mention lack of personalization is sorely missing.

Contact groups is something I miss too. But this is bigger problem that is not limited this app, but has a more fundamental problem lying with the people app and lack of consistency and performance within the people app and across software for different windows devices.

We are likely getting a new people feature as part of the desktop experience on the taskbar, but I think this does not adress the fundamental problem with the people app.

Real constructive, go find your bridge. I would prefer using desktop Outlook if I used it as it probably doesn’t have rendering problems with some emails like YouTube comment notification emails still unlike the Mail and Calendar apps. Until recently I found W10 Mail too buggy to be usable.

That seems better now, and I really like the look of the app, but it has idiosyncracies which still rule it out for me, particularly its insistence on using its own folders for sent and deleted mail, which apart from anything else can mess up threaded conversations if you’re using it with another client on another machine.

I abandoned Office including Outlook a long time ago. It’s not so much the ribbon, but other features of the UI they messed up style handing in Word and removed a proper full screen editing view. All the main alternatives demand different types of compromise. Mailbird has a great UI but lacks professional features, including proper calendar integration.

I guess one day I’ll find the perfect solution. I’m using the mail app on windows 10 every day and it works great on both pc and mobile. It’s ok that Outook is much better than the Mail App. But why is even the browser version so much better? I still mostly use the Mail App. It’s ok for me but I hope they add features. Even when my settings were set to notify me as emails arrive, my inboxes wouldn’t update.

I would either manually update my inboxes or it would update my inbox minutes after the email was in my inbox. Been using Outlook ever since. When I did have a surface device and used Mail, this right here, was the biggest and most frustrating part of using Mail.

To say the program even synced mail was an understatement. My iphone would chime with a new mail and even though the program was set for immediate notification of mail, it never happened. Secondly, once I deleted or moved an item, without fail everytime, I had to manually sync the program for the changes to take effect.

Multiple user voice submissions were in the feedback app, but honestly I do not think even now the problem is resolved. I tried to migrate to outlook in hopes of getting my work Exchange and another account in that program and hopefully alleviate the sync issue, but to no avail could I ever get Outlook to setup my work Exchange account, even though Mail had no issues establishing the account.

I just gave up and used online versions when on the surface. The syncing situation is still an issue. Especially for deleting items. I also just use outlook. I try to use Windows mail, but after having used Outlook for so may years I always return to Outlook.

No Comparison. Does anyone else have an issue with attachments not showing up in the Windows Mail application? It seems to only happen when the email comes from mail. I have to use outlook. I don’t have this issue when using the outlook mail application on my work Android phone. It seems to only effect Windows systems. As sad as it is, it kinda makes me feel better knowing I’m not the only one with this problem. Mail app automatically sends “read receipts” when the sender requests. Outlook gives you the option to ignore such requests.

In case you don’t want to sender to know you’ve read the mail. That’s the only con that bothers me right now. Another con on the mail app is signatures. There’s no feature for adding html formatted signatures. I use Ditto to quickly paste my signature.

HTML format, totally easy. I wish this article included a comparison with Outlook. It’s another option. One has to wonder, how Microsoft can afford to continue with two email-clients. One from the Windows div, another from the Office div. So, please don’t tell me something about One Microsoft, the inter-division shooting continues.

As far as I know they are all from the Office team. Very happy with it wish I could remove Outlook from Office Is the year shorter where you live, or do you just take the last 9 days off? Where can we get this outlook? Just use Windows Live Mail. I don’t think you can download it any more. I wish Microsoft still supported Live Mail, I thought it was the best as far as free mail client.

See the embedded screen shot, courtesy of TeroAlhonen. Thanks, WinObs. In the Windows 8 days, Microsoft officials insisted that the built-in Mail and Calendar apps, which are less functional than Outlook, represented the future of mail at Microsoft. At one point, there were rumors Microsoft was considering renaming the Mail and Calendar app bundle as “Outlook,” which would have made the confusing situation with many different products all named “Outlook” even worse.

To date, however, it has continued to maintain the existing Mail and Calendar apps for some reason, rather than making all of its mail apps based on Outlook. Microsoft currently has different versions of Outlook for Windows, Mac, the Web, iOS and Android devices based on the Acompli technology it acquired , all of which its officials tend to refer to as plain-old “Outlook.

The setting up of accounts in Outlook must be what 20 years old?? Let alone painful. Setting up of email accounts should have the Mail app approach – more up to date, and no bullshit.

I used the full Outlook for decades. I am forced to use it at work. When I first started using Windows 8 I ditched Outlook as quickly as possible. I get so tired of the crashes, the busted. And at work, it’s worse. We’re the flipping DoD and we can’t keep email working for a day.

Have I ever had a time when the Windows 8 or 10 Mail app didn’t work? I have never needed most of the features in Outlook–even in any of the places I’ve worked. That’s a lot of unnecessary overhead and just creates a long list of things to break. So, I’ll stick with the Mail app, thanks. Wow, that sucks that you’ve had those experiences.

I have had the opposite experience — virtually never a problem with Outlook. I used to be anti-Outlook, and with the older versions, I think that was valid. But since about Outlook or , I have flipped and now like it so much I even set up an Exchange Server at my house for our family, with each person running a copy of Outlook on their own system OK, I know that’s an unusual use case.

No errors or crashes ever that were Outlook’s fault. Sure, if you just use POP mail, it’s probably not worth Outlook and its PST files, but if you have calendaring, tasks, contacts with events, use multiplue computers and want everything kept in sync across all of them, ever want to do a mail merge with your contacts, rules for sorting messages as they arrive, setting up groups, sending at specific times, detailed search options, want to write macros in VBA no less for processing your data, etc.

For me, it’s head and shoulders above the alternatives, just as much or more as Word, Excel, and OneNote and probably should include PowerPoint, but I don’t use that as much. But that’s just my experience. If I had crashes like you did, I’d probably feel differently. As an Outlook user what irritates the hell out of me is that a bunch of Windows 10 apps such as Photos only allow share with Mail. Conversely, Mail far from not allowing items to be flagged handles flags far better than Outlook.

Yes,I do know how to get a flagged items view in Outlook but why should one need to be a power user to get there? Mail is clean and Microsoft needs to clean Outlook up as it has done with the web interface. A quick note about Outlook for Macintosh – and why I don’t use it. Outlook refuses to remember my screen geometry settings.

Every single time I open Outlook, it opens in a relatively small window. I stretch the window out so that I can see what I’m working on. The next time I launch Outlook, it’s back to that small window. I don’t like either one for personal use. I use a browser and go to Outlook. I use Outlook at work and like it. It works nicely with a corporate exchange server. But when synchronizing with an outook.

And SLOW The built in Mail app stinks, IMO. Outlook does not require a subscription to Office! You totally left out Outlook. I’ve tried to use the Mail app a few times, and I just haven’t liked it. Hard to pinpoint exactly why. I use Outlook.

Since my day 1 at work, I was taught to use OIutlook years ago. I think I will vote for Outlook no matter what. Yes, it is CalDAV. I give a big thumb for it. Though Apple has iCloud Control Panel in complemntary of calendar, contact and reminder synchronization, there is no way to asign iCloud folders as Outlook’s default folders. Since this add-in also synchronizes Google Calendar, I am kind of better now. I’ve been using the Windows Mail app that comes with Windows 10 for a few years now.

I enjoy the simplicity of it. One annoyance though I recently started to move from Calibri to Segoe font for business documents and emails, but there’s no setting to allow for a permanent font change in the mail app, which frankly seems a bit stupid. I found out how to change the default font and style settings in 8. I use Outlook client at work and Outlook. Windows Mail still seems no good. I can’t use it as my primary mail client.

I tend to use Calendar even when I have the same account setup in Outlook. It’s just a more pleasant experience. But when it comes to professional email, I definitely stick to Outlook most of the time. Other than this issue I’m having signing in to my old Windows Live Domain account, which works in Mail but not in Outlook. Rich Edmonds, why doesn’t the comparison include outlook.

That leaves Outlook as the only one I use. I think it comes down to two questions: 1. Do you need to use it on a tablet? If yes, then Outlook is terrible.

Use Mail. Do you really need the advanced features of Outlook? If no, then go with the lighter Mail client. If you answered “Yes” to both, that’s the tough spot. I’d recommend using both. Mail for when you’re in a tablet mode and Outlook when you’re docked. I used the full Outlook for years in my personal life, and still use it at work. Personally, I much prefer the Mail app and that’s what I’ve been using since Windows 8. I just don’t see the value in the full Outlook in my daily life.

I have noticed the my Gmail is not always synced in Windows Mail. If you try to add Gmail to Outlook, you may encounter some errors because Google considers Outlook as not safe and so you have to change the email settings in Gmail on the web for it to work.

Both designs leave a lot to be desired. I pretty much only use Outlook from my phone. Work is through Gmail so I don’t have much of a choice there, although even there I have my Gmail sync through the Outlook mobile app. I only miss OneNote integration in the free app. The rest enough for me.

I use Win10 Mail app for my professional Outlook since it has far better design than Outlook clients. All Outlook clients desktop and web are shame: poor design, very hard to read and distinguish which mails are read or not, hard to distinguish the separation between mails within a discussion, heavy and take dozens of seconds to start even the desktop app! With my SP I use both, mail for tablet mode and outlook when docked in the office. Mail has touch friendly convenience, outlook has all the professional tools, perfect.

I will never stop using Windows Live Mail as long as it still works. It is clean and does what email needs to do. Settings are a bit cumbersome these days, but once it is setup, everything works smoothly. An important point is that Outlook at least in Windows can’t sync with Google Calendar, whereas Mail can. For those tied to Google Calendar, that’s no small thing.

There are third-party solutions that will get the sync working, but that’s a hack. It would be really nice to see full support for Google Services – including Google Tasks – in Outlook. Mail’s bugs suck. Since Windows 10 I’ve pretty much transitioned from Outlook to Mail. The Mail app in Windows 8 was pretty bad but it’s much better in I use “Windows Mail” in 8.

All I get is a blank page below the subject line, and no way to link out, with those e-mails. But, when I log in to my e-mail account through the cable company e-mail web portal, the HTML automatically is there for that e-mail message. After more than 10 years of outlook use i have switched to the “free” outlook windows mail app for windows.

It’s more than enough, even for professional use. Other than that Microsoft has done a nice job so far with the app for consumer and professional use in my experience at work and at home. When comparing mail apps for Windows 10, you want to make sure you choose an option that is compatible with a variety of email providers, especially if you use a combination of providers for your personal and business email addresses.

For example, if you use Gmail for your work mail and Yahoo! You should also look for an application that’s easy to set up and use, but leaves room for customizations.

Of course, any program that also integrates with other applications you use on a daily basis or offers other perks that can boost your productivity and save you time is always a plus. For example, some of the best free email programs for Windows also offer integrations with Dropbox, Google Calendar, and other common business applications. Having all the tools you need in one place saves you time and helps maximize your productivity, especially if they also offer email apps for Android or iOS in addition to your Windows device.
