For a long time, I've had a theory that Microsoft feel they have to offer free email client software, BUT need to make it a bit crap. If they make it too good, it would cannibalise sales of Outlook, their premium PIM product. Microsoft didn't get to their lofty position by giving away their crown jewels!
Over the years, Microsoft's free email client software has included Outlook Express (OK), Windows Live Mail (v2012 was pretty good), and now Windows 10 Mail (pants!).
If you are after a free email client application, try Mozilla Thunderbird which is pretty good. If you want a really good email client - Outlook is best (though sadly not free!), & part of Microsoft Office. However, if your email provider is Google - use Gmail in Chrome for the best, fastest & safest experience.
