Windows 10/11 comes with a preinstalled Windows Mail app, providing an easy-to-use interface for receiving and sending emails from various accounts, including Outlook.com (Outlook.com, Hotmail, live.com, and MSN), Exchange (Exchange and Office 365), Google (Gmail), Yahoo Mail, iCloud, and other POP & IMAP accounts. The Windows 10/11 Mail app also offers simple steps for configuring your Gmail account. If you want to receive your Gmail account emails (e.g., yourname@gmail.com) in the Windows 10 Mail app, you can directly synchronize your Gmail account and get emails into your Windows 10 Mail Inbox.
