Win10's built-in email client...

Seriously, is there a worse email client? I wish I was joking. Even without providing any specifics, I'm wondering how many would agree with this blanket statement... As a software developer, if this is the type of app Microsoft wants to encourage me to write, then they shouldn't be surprised that WinForms is still my target platform of choice. I realize not every one spends a lot of time "doing email" in 2022, but still, this should be considered a go-to app in their flagship OS. It honestly feels like they're not even trying.

It's worse than the old Windows Live Mail/Outlook Express.

WLM is a work of art in comparison. I had one of my neighbors hooked on it until MS deliberately broke it in some Windows 10 update not too long ago. I'd probably reinstall it myself otherwise. I mean, I have the full-blown Outlook that I keep to archive my email, but on my primary desktop, I just want something that's ridiculously lightweight and quick and can notify me when something new has arrived, view it, and then let me decide whether to leave it there (to be archived later in Outlook) or delete it immediately. A few months ago I pondered writing my own, leveraging MS's Graph API, but that apparently doesn't work for Hotmail - only corporate accounts. The built-in client is barely tolerable to do just that. But the quirks are eventually gonna push me over the edge.
