Photos, People, SkyDrive, Maps, Calendar,
and Mail are some of the modern apps that ship with Windows 8 and
Windows 10. Obviously, the Mail app lets you see all your email accounts
in one place. The Mail app supports all popular webmail services like
Outlook.com, Hotmail, Gmail, and Yahoo mail.
Even
though the Mail app is not as powerful as Outlook or Windows Live Mail,
it does the job very well. There are some basic features missing from
this version of the Mail app. For instance, you can’t directly print a
mail from the app and you can’t even add an account using POP or IMAP.
To print an email, you need to copy the contents of the mail to your
Notepad, Office
or any other other applications and then use print feature of the
application to print your email. Microsoft will definitely improve this
app in coming months.
