Outlook for Windows

Outlook for Windows is a new email client and personal information manager that replaces the defunct Windows Mail and Calendar apps (which are no longer supported by Microsoft). This default email client app is included in most newer Windows 11 PCs shipped in 2024 and features tight integration with Microsoft 365 apps, AI tools, and a fresh design.

Twobird

Twobird is a unique app that approaches email management as a to-do list. By combining your messages, calendar events, tasks, and notes into an agenda-like workspace, the cross-platform Twobird treats your email as one component of your overall productivity. This way, you only need one app to manage your daily tasks.
