Windows 10: Best Multi-User Email App?

You can use the Mail App built into Windows 10. I use it with Gmail and Outlook Mail Accounts.
There is the option in Settings > Manage Accounts > Link Inboxes.

This is for some older friends. They don't like web based email and want a dedicated email app. I am unfamiliar with Windows email apps, hence my query here. I don't know that there is anything wrong with Windows Mail. If you are confident that it will support the needs that I outlined in my query, then it will likely be a good solution.

Hi there @fisher99

Outlook still really is the best if you have ms Office -- it works with multiple accounts and also if you need to get email from EXCHANGE type servers ( a lot of work type emails use these).

Thunderbird does all this too and is reasonably "outlook like although there's a bit of a learning curve.
I think all email clients will show different accounts as having different inboxes -- if you want all incoming emails to go to a specific account I believe you can do this with some sort of email forwarding with both outlook and thunderbird - I'm not a specialist in this type of stuff though.

If you can get email forwarding or aliasing to work you can set outlook when it starts to open a specific inbox - it's in the options.

I think this might do it for outlook


Automatically Forward Email in Outlook 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007

I'd set up a specific email account to receive emails from their standard accounts, auto forward to this inbox and get outlook to open that account automatically.

Not sure if thunderbird can do it -- might play around later.

Another possibility is buy a cheap domain -- anything.eu or whatever these all have an email program in them - give this out as your standard email address and set that program to forward the relevant outlook account --- most of these hosted domains allow several mailboxes so your 4 accounts could easily be auto forwarded to the relevant outlook account. Hosted domains with minimal requirements can cost as little as 10 USD a year -- cheaper than mail forwarding programs .

This is the Windows 10 Mail App Linked Inbox option:

In the work scenario, I used the Outlook Mail client, but then I did not have to pay for that.
