Whether you use your computer for leisure or for work, email is likely a significant way for you to keep in touch with people and manage your life. An email client plays an important role in that and is worthy of a place on your computer, especially if you use multiple accounts on Gmail, the most popular and most powerful free web email service. The built-in Google web interface leaves a lot to be desired, but fortunately, you aren’t stuck using that built-in interface, or Windows Mail or Outlook as your email client. Windows 10 users have a lot of viable alternatives for a Gmail client solution. ![]() Oct 1, 2018 - To make Windows use Gmail by default, you first set your browser of choice as the default email application. You then set it to use Gmail, using the relevant guide. Press Windows + S to bring up the search window. Most of them are free, they all work pretty well, and all of them are an easy replacement for Mail or Outlook. As a Windows 10 and Gmail user, I tried a range of Gmail apps for Windows 10 and I list some of the ones that impressed me the most below.

The UI is clean, feature-rich and makes navigating and managing emails simple. It is free for home use and can manage two email accounts. There is a premium version available if you need more features. EM Client works with Gmail, Outlook, iCloud and Exchange email accounts. The installer will automatically set up a free trial of the premium version but you can get a key for the free version from the eM Client site. Mailbird looks and feels like a Windows 10 app and is quite similar to Outlook, at least in visual design. It has a slick UI, intuitive controls and can manage multiple email accounts. It works quickly and plays well with multiple email accounts including Gmail, Outlook, iCloud and Exchange. Mailbird supports touch, messaging, task management, calendars and more. The install is small and straightforward and setup is a breeze. It is definitely one of the better mail clients for Windows 10. It does cost money for the Pro version, though, which will kick in after the 30-day trial. Mailbird Lite Mailbird Lite is the version of Mailbird you get if you elect not to buy the Pro version of Mailbird. The mail features remain much the same but you lose the ability to speed read, snooze email a la Quiet Hours, and previewing attachments. Other than that, they are very similar so all the positives you read about above are still relevant here. Mailbird Lite works with POP3 and IMAP, and links to Facebook, Whatsapp and other social media apps as well. Thunderbird is an obvious contender for one of the best Gmail apps for Windows 10. It supports add-ons and extensions, works with most email accounts and uses tabbed windows to manage multiple emails and tasks.
