Windows Live Mail is a successor of popular Outlook (Windows XP) and is available for free. Is smart and you can add new accounts with a few clicks, it has a modern user interface that you will love it if you like Microsoft Word. Is easy to block spam and create rules for emails, includes a calendar where you can enter tasks or to do things.

Support IMAP and POP3, you can choose to enter settings manually if you want, but the program is smart to detect them automatically, at least for popular email services such as Gmail, Yahoo etc.

1. Easy installation

I have installed the program through Windows Essential package which contains a list with applications.
