We're never paid for placement in our articles from any app or for links to any site-we value the trust readers put in us to offer authentic evaluations of the categories and apps we review. For more details on our process, read the full rundown of how we select apps to feature on the Zapier blog. I started my research by defining the category and clarifying what criteria I was basing my reviews on. Here's what was most important as I tested each desktop email client.Ĭompatibility with most email service providers. This was the starting point for my search and evaluation. The best mail app for Windows will allow you to connect to multiple email providers (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo!, etc).Įase of use. People of all technical abilities might want an email app for Windows, so I looked for apps that most users will find easy to set up and use.Ĭustomization. For folks who want more control, I looked for clients that provide a degree of user flexibility for look and feel. I also looked at productivity features such as chat apps, email filtering, pre-made templates, and the like. These are the tools-built-in and third-party-that can make a day spent inside your inbox less stressful and more effective. The software should have some degree of support, whether it's an active user community or a responsive support team. With the criteria identified, I then searched far and wide for mail clients for Windows that have a relatively broad customer base. I poked around on each vendor's website to review features and the support offered. For support, I wanted to know if there were recent responses to forum questions (having good support dialogue showed an active community of users and a better chance you'll get your questions answered). From there, I downloaded each of the clients that fit the criteria and had active support communities. I made notes on ease of setup and use for each client. For example, several clients required two clicks just to compose a new email, so I marked them as not user-friendly (tough crowd here!).
