It will always be strange to me why people use email apps on Windows. I haven’t willingly used a desktop email program since Yahoo mail was introduced back in the day (then on to Gmail, etc.)
What do people do with email that the web client isn’t enough?
(edit) - And just to add, OP check out Thunderbird, Mozilla’s (maker of Firefox) email client.
i use 5 different mail addresses at once, some of them are encrypted using PGP, some are not.
I have individual signatures, sometimes several per mail account.
I can preset mails offline, don’t have to rely on five different web interfaces and can connect a central address book and calendar to all accounts.
Useful for grabbing and keeping a personal backup of emails. Can be referenced offline if connection to the internet is poor. Native notifications. Better integration into other desktop applications. For Apple users, good syncing across devices.
Obviously web clients could also provide most of these benefits as well.
My accounts are all Gmail or Google Workspace. I have always hated the sorting and display options Gmail allows. I’ve used desktop Outlook forever and have it tweaked exactly as I want it. I’m paying $99 a year for Office360, might as well get my money’s worth.
