Email app

Any recommendations for a email app for Windows 11?
I am using Windows mail app now. I have noticed that sometimes emails are not sent. I was waiting on replies f only to find them still in the outbox or saved in drafts. Even after trying to send again they still did not send. This seems to be a issue after searching online for a fix. I have deleted and reinstalled accounts only to still have problems.

What email are you using? Hotmail? Live? I always recommend Gmail. I have been using it for many years and it is wonderful. I can easily access it from any computer if needed.

I never recommend outlook.

Thunderbird is free. I've been using it for years, no issues.

I have two gmail accounts, and I can log in at the same time using a browser. When you're in your main account, click on your initial in the top right hand corner and you'll see the option to add an account. After you add your other account, you can then click on the initial and you'll see your other account in the list. When you click on it, it'll open in a new tab.

Humm, with the exception of the member here who still uses an AOL email (I think), I guess I am the old timer here. I still use Yahoo & I have like 6 or 7 accounts & I can stay logged into all of them ... all ... the time. Just click the email you want in the list & it opens up. No signing in or anything.
I remember a few years back, someone asked: "You still use Yahoo mail?!" I remember thinking.. Ahhh, Yeah.

I generally recommend Thunderbird to my clients that are looking for an email client. It's free, well supported, easy to use, and supports most email services. Note that Thunderbird is an email client (app), not an email service such as Gmail, Yahoomail, Hotmail, etc. Thunderbird supports having many different email accounts and services within a single window. For example, the email I setup for my church office has the secretary, priest, bookkeeper, and office accounts all visible on the same window. Some accounts are with the ISP, one with the website hoster, and one with Gmail (3 different services).

Most browsers will let you use Private mode (Control-Shift-N). You can log in with a second "different" account for gmail or yahoo.

Eh, chiming in, I'm probably an outlier, because I manage a bunch of email accounts. Personal email, personal cell phone gmail, emails for 3 business gmail phones, personal emails for 2 businesses, and gmail from a senior family member's cellphone.

I still like and use MS Outlook Express because it creates a local archive of the email, as an actual file. (helpful for Realtor & Attorney record keeping, even though it takes up several gigabytes.)
Also, the Outlook Express sorting algorithm comes in handy for archiving emails by business transaction-

But, that being said, I have setup the OEM system of Win-10 version of MS Mail, as an easier "see every inbox at once" to scan down my personal email and for a parent who has vision problems.

So, the interesting difference is email systems that are EITHER A) easy to read RIGHT NOW or B) easy to create an ARCHIVE for business record keeping. Haven't found any that do both.
BUT, also not in a hurry to switch emails and setup multiple accounts on multiple desktops, laptops, and phones for each new email program.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I'm going to give Thunderbird a try. I like windows mail, just with the issues I am having that won't go away I need to try something else.

It is a bit older, but I want to give a thumb up for Thunderbird. I am using it for many years now without any significant issues. Thunderbird is the first choice for business computers as well.
