Windows 10 mail in Russian. Alternatives to Outlook: Review of email clients for Windows. Adding an account

The site's observer has studied several email clients for Windows and tells us which programs may appeal to active email users who are tired of the Windows Live Mail or Microsoft Outlook interfaces.

Mailbird

An email client with an interface distinctly reminiscent of Sparrow for Mac OS. This is the second year the application has received the IT World award as the best email client for Windows.

The Mailbird team understands that many users want to add personality and improve the usability of the final product, and offers clients the following personalization solutions: color choice, customization of user interface panels and hotkey combinations.

The trend towards expanding the functionality of applications by connecting other applications is gaining momentum. The developers took this into account, so the application supports touch control and connection of third-party applications such as Facebook, Dropbox, WhatsApp, Twitter, Evernote, Todoist and some others.

The application is available in paid (Pro) and free (Lite) versions. Paid subscription, in turn, also exists in two versions: for a year and lifetime for $12 and $45, respectively. The paid version offers users quick previews of long messages and snooze messages.

Snooze messages allow the user to delay reading non-urgent correspondence for a specified period of time. After the grace period expires, the message reappears as unread.

The Pro version also offers the connection of an unlimited number of email accounts, versus a maximum of three in the free version. The free trial period for the Pro version is 30 days.

Mozilla Thunderbird

Cross-platform email client from the developers of the Mozilla Firefox browser.

The creators of the application laid the basis for the OpenSource principle. The advantages of such projects are timely search and elimination of vulnerabilities, as well as rapid product updates.

The application developers did not ignore the issue of security of personal correspondence. Message encryption, digital signature and certificate verification are responsible for the confidentiality of users' personal correspondence. The powerful spam filter does its job well and can be trained.

Among the functional features, we can highlight support for modern mail protocols, RSS and Atom channels, lightweight, and extensive folder directories. Thunderbird is compatible with almost any encoding, can filter messages and work with several accounts at the same time.

According to Mozilla, the product is used by 495 thousand users in Russia and 9 million worldwide. The austerity and conceptual age of the user interface is intended to be brightened up by a large green button on the product website with the inscription “Download for free.”

eM Client

A simple and convenient email client in the style of Outlook.

Users are offered two versions of the product - Free and Pro. The $30 version offers unlimited account creation (versus a maximum of two for the free version) and a license for commercial use.

The advantages of the application include the connection of third-party services Microsoft Exchange, Gmail, iCloud, support for touch devices and custom widgets. Importing data from Microsoft Outlook, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, The Bat facilitates possible transition from other email clients.

the Bat

An email client characterized by powerful security mechanisms on the one hand and a complete absence of built-in spam filters, tedious interface setup and nondescript design on the other.

Compared to free competitors, the application wins in terms of privacy, holds its own when comparing functional features, and loses miserably in usability.

In everyday correspondence, the security requirements of most users are satisfied by the standard tools offered by other email clients, which is why the price tag of 2,000 rubles for the Home version seems overpriced.

Inky

Beautiful, modern and free email client.

In addition to a well-made user interface, Inky boasts the ability to work with multiple accounts, flexible filters, cloud synchronization and convenient visualization, in which the user is asked to choose colors and icons for different accounts.

The developers have built into the application automatic sorting of incoming emails by relevance. Messages from your closest contacts are marked with a blue drop, which means the message is highly important. Less important messages and spam are marked with less bright blobs and are lowered in the list.

In practice, there are often cases when sorting occurs on a time basis, which means assigning greater importance to the most recent message. A logical simplification of the sorting system that destroys the excellent idea of ​​care and attention to each user.

From a personalization point of view, Inky is a teachable and easily customizable client.

Finally, it is worth mentioning the interesting OpenSource development Mailpile, which is in beta testing.

This application is distributed free of charge and “lives” on voluntary donations, and therefore does not contain advertising.

Most users open their email account through a regular browser, unaware that there is an alternative that is much more convenient to use. Let's look at a number of popular email clients and their advantages.

What is and why do you need an email client in Windows?

An email client is a special utility that allows you to view and write email messages within your mailboxes.

The email client helps users quickly check several email accounts at once

The mail client may be of interest to users who have several mailboxes from one or more mail services, for example, Yandex and Google. Verifying them takes a lot of time, because you have to log out of each account to log into the next one, and constantly manually enter authorization data. The mail client checks for new messages in all accounts at once. In addition, it is not necessary to launch it every time; it is enough to enable notifications in the Windows tray.

The utility is also suitable for people who use metered or slow Internet. If they download an email client, emails will load faster, and traffic will be saved (it will only be spent on receiving and sending emails).

Email clients for Windows 10

There are many utilities for managing several boxes at the same time: paid and free, for professional and home use, with a beautiful and ordinary shell.

Mail app included in Windows 10

Windows 10 has a standard mail client called Mail. Its predecessor is the program of the same name, created within the Metro shell in Windows 8. In the “eight”, the program had a basic set of functions and a minimum amount of settings and allowed you to use several mailboxes, receive and send letters, configure their order and move them.

The functionality of the program in the “ten” has been expanded. The following features have been added:

• choice of interface color and background image;
• formatting text and working with tables in the editor to create a letter;
• synchronization with the calendar and task schedule.

The downside of the utility is that adding a Yandex account will take a little more time, since manual configuration is required. In the initial window, you can quickly enter only service boxes:

• Google;
• Outlook;
• Exchange;
• iCloud;
• Yahoo!.

Mail comes standard with Windows 10 and does not need to be downloaded and installed separately. To open the utility:

• Using the Start menu:
  • click on the button in the form of a window on the “Taskbar” in the lower left corner of the screen;
    The Mail shortcut is in the Start menu
  • Scroll through the list of utilities to the letter “P”, find the “Mail” item and click on it;
  • add your first email account;
    Select a mail service from the list of available ones
  • If you don't want to scroll through the list, click on the first letter "A" to open a table with the remaining letters. Select “P” in it with the left mouse button. The desired list of programs for this letter will appear on the panel;
    In the table, select “P” to immediately go to a small list with applications starting with this letter
• via the Windows Search panel:
  

Outlook

Outlook is another email client from Microsoft. The program is paid and perhaps this is its only drawback. It is a real information manager with the functions of an email client. The utility has the following main advantages:

• advanced calendar management for quality planning. Shared calendars are available where you can schedule meetings and respond to invitations;
• integration with Office. You can work with and share attachments from other Office utilities from your PC or the cloud;
• creating groups to discuss issues and exchange files and notes;
• quickly search for the necessary data using keywords or contacts. Recent searches are saved;
• automatic filtering and sorting of correspondence;
• automatic archiving in case of data loss;
• advanced text formatting options. Outlook is a stripped-down version of modern Word. You can work with tables, express blocks and other elements.

The functionality is huge and, most likely, most of the options are simply not needed by the average user. However, for a professional working in an office, this is an ideal product.

The computer must meet the following minimum requirements for the program to run on it:

• Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and later, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008;
• Silverlight 3 and later;
• availability of the Net Framework 4.0 platform.

The email client is included in the package of Microsoft Office 365 utilities (Excel, Word, Power Point and more). If this package is on your PC, then perhaps this utility is also there. Search for it using Windows Search using the instructions from the previous section. If you don't have Office, you can download a free trial version of the manager:

   Click on “For Home” in the “Try for Free” menu if you have not yet decided on the paid version

   Select the installation type and click on “Next”

In 2015, Microsoft presented the tenth version of Windows. It is fully compatible with a wide variety of devices: laptops, tablets, Xbox One consoles, smartphones, etc. It combines and improves the positive aspects of previous versions.

Windows 10 is, as always, user-friendly and has some common features with Windows 7. For example, the Start menu of these two versions is almost identical. Windows 10 starts instantly and reboots quickly. A big plus of the “tens” is the built-in security features, which are much more numerous than in previous versions. Another plus is the compatibility of the new Windows with a wide range of different software.

Windows 10 makes it easy to set up any email application or program.

Outlook

This email client has proven itself to be excellent in the process of working with email. It is also a full-fledged organizer that provides the functions of a calendar, notepad, task scheduler, and contact manager.
Windows 10 supports all non-legacy versions of Outlook.
For today it is:
Outlook 2013/Office 365
Outlook 2010+
Outlook 2007

The Microsoft Outlook application is familiar to many, but not everyone actively uses its full potential and functions. As a rule, office workers are only interested in its individual components. For some, this application helps plan work and leisure, for others it is just a convenient calendar, and for others it is a functional database of business contacts. However, most people still use Outlook as their email client.

How to set up Outlook

In the main application menu you need to find Setting up accounts. An alternative option is to use Windows Control Panel. First press the button Start(located in the lower left corner of the screen next to the taskbar), then select Control Panel. In the list that appears, click Mail. Eventually a window will open Mail setup - Outlook.

Then click on the button Accounts and get a list of current accounts. To add another one, click on Create...

The next window helps us add our account. We don’t change anything in it, leaving the “yes” switch selected by default. Now click Further.

If you have already used the program, the main working window. Select the option in the main menu File. Next, click the add account button (there is a green cross next to it).

We indicate the following data:

-In the top field your name- enter your first and last name

-In field Email address- our mailbox address

-In field Password- personal password to the mailbox. Next, we confirm it in Password verification.

Another possible option is to set up your account automatically. In this case, just methodically press the button Further, and the application will do everything for us, independently determining the necessary parameters for working with mail. After this, a window will appear indicating that the setup was completed successfully. Click on the button Ready and start working with the mailbox.

Manual setting is of course also available. Just turn the switch on Manual configuration or additional server types and press Further.

Now a window appears Service selection. In it we put a switch on POP or IMAP protocol.

In the next window, specify the mail server parameters for your account.

Important! Check the box Secure Password Verification (SPA) in no case should it be, since otherwise it will become impossible to accept correspondence.

Now let's go to the tab Additionally and check the port numbers.

Click OK and finish working with additional settings.

Users also have the opportunity to verify their account. This is the function Checking your account settings. If your account is an IMAP account and you are using the correct domain, then when you check it, a warning window will appear in which you should click on the yes button. Next, we wait a bit while the settings are checked. If everything is fine with them, a corresponding message will appear.

However, errors may be found during the verification process. In this case, you will have to carefully check all the settings, since somewhere there is an inaccuracy.

If there are no errors, then the next window will show information that the account has been created. Now all that remains is to click on the ready button and feel free to start working with your mailbox.

True, this same “last” window is also the starting point for adding another account, as eloquently evidenced by the corresponding option. If you need another account - then go ahead...

The Bat!
