Microsoft Outlook for email? Advantages and Disadvantages?

Can anyone pls explain why one would use Microsoft Outlook for emails, what are the advantages and how to set up the account also if you are using 2 accounts (Yahoo %26 Gmail) any complications?

Most mail clients can accommodate multiple email accounts.



I currently use Thunderbird for 5 email accounts from different sources (GMail, my ISP, my domain host).



I use Outlook at work because my employer uses an exchange server for our email/calendars etc. Outlook is much more than a mail client. It includes contact management, scheduling, and collaborative tools suitable for a work or school environment.



You could use it for your home email and I know people that do but you lose out on some of the collaborative features when it isn't served by an exchange server. I personally think it takes up too much overhead (system resources) for a stand alone mail client when there are plenty of alternatives that are faster, lighter, and can handle multiple accounts.



Good luck in your search!

Outlook is really good if you are on a network at a job or school, however you can only access your email on the network. Im not sure about using yahoo or gmail, maybe it will help consoludate?
