Windows used to have an email client that was just called Windows Mail. It wasn't Outlook and it was actually quite a nice little email client as far as MS software goes. They announced that it would be discontinued though for the sake of getting everyone into outlook. I started using thunderbird instead.
There's currently Windows Mail on Win10 and 11, it's also not too bad.
Outlook is a nightmare.
That's the one I'm talking about but it's not preinstalled anymore and they're taking it off the store at the end of next year so I decided to just leave asap.
Oh I did not know that!
Vivaldi's mail client's pretty good, integrates into your browser much. Although no PGP support, that's a bummer.
instance checks out
Outlook is a pile of crap, like every microsoft shitware, especially the electron crap, like outlook, teams, etc.
Missive

Mailspring is good, has nice features and is totally enough for normies
Oh that looks good. Gonna check it out.
Not just normies. I liked using thunderbird but it felt so bloated for my use case (not to mention the sluggishness) . I just want to read my email, I don't need an entire suite of things like calendars or extensions (I understand why people use them, I just do not need or want them). Mailspring was by far the best option for me.
That's an understatment.
