...and Windows 10 includes a pre-installed email app (I can't remember what
Windows 8/8.1 did). It may be complete and utter rubbish, but it is there.
(Complete and utter rubbish to the point that I can put more signature
information in my Android mail app than I can in the included Windows 10 one;
and I know people, including small businesses, that are currently trying to
find an alternative to the Windows Live mail client that ceased in 2012 as is
now no longer installable - Outlook doesn't get considered even when they have
it included in the latest Office 2016 because it doesn't suite their needs).
