For personal accounts you can use Outlook (OWA) for free it works very well, I don't know if you asked about it?

https://outlook.live.com/OWA

You can add this mail account to the Mail app for Windows10 - synchronization after logging in is automatic

@cheah1740 - You can use any of the Outlook apps (Desktop/Android/iOS/Web App etc.) with any Microsoft account, personal or business.

the microsoft outlook app i refer to is in window 10 cause the microsoft outlook in window 10 required me to purchase 365 subscription

@cheah1740 - so it's the Outlook Desktop app, which is bundled with their Office product set, now known as Office365. That's the one version that isn't free and would need an O365 subscription or by buying Microsoft Office as a one off (which is more expensive).

 

If you only need one copy you might find it cheaper on ebay but it's an enterprise product hence the cost.

 

Suggest you use the free versions of Outlook, Calendar and ToDo. These 3 together have the equivalent of the desktop functionality, albeit cut down. 

thank you for the reply
previously in microsoft outlook 2010 is not required to subscribe
thank you for the information

free version of outlook only can use in the website ( in web browser)

@cheah1740 - If you look at your list of apps (in Win 10 or 11) you'll see you have 'Mail' & 'Calendar' listed. If you open 'Mail' it opens a pre loaded (not web) app that you can use for your email and is based on Outlook. It has a menu, bottom left for Calendar, Contacts & Tasks, just as the Outlook Desktop does. Click on any of these and the app opens. They are 3 separate apps built in to Windows and the three offer similar functionality to Outlook Desktop.

 

Later this year the new Outlook (Project Monarch) should get released for general use. It can be downloaded now but you need an Office365 account to use it (which rules you out at the moment) but once released fully it will a) be downloadable and b) as close to Outlook Desktop as you'll get.

No, the Windows 10 mail client is not based on Outlook. It's light0weight and basic, like the old Outlook Express client.

A good free (for up to 2 accounts, need a paid license for more than 2 accounts) replacement for Outlook is the eM Client. It works with all accounts - syncs google, yahoo, and iCloud calendar and contacts too. (Monarch is one Office 365 business accounts only - no way it is ready for prime time.)

If cheah has office 2010, it will work on windows 10.
