New default apps are part and parcel of major new Windows releases. Long gone is Outlook Express, and the new Windows 10 Mail client is here to fill its role, now with touch support and a new minimalist, flat design. It's also a big advance over the Windows 8.1 Mail app, which I've nevertheless used with satisfaction. Here I'll take a closer look at the new mail client app's capabilities to find out whether it's worthy of being your default mail client.
Windows 8 featured a very basic modern app for mail, which was improved in 8.1 with things like drag-and-drop for moving mail among folders. This new Windows 10 Mail app, which comes preinstalled along with Calendar, is actually part of the free version of Microsoft's Office Mobile productivity suite. It's called Outlook Mail on Windows 10 Mobile running on smartphones and phablets, but just plain Mail on Windows 10 for PCs. It's one more reason, along with the other touch-friendly Office apps that will be free at the Windows Store, to make the free upgrade to Windows 10.
Setting Up Mail in Windows 10
If you've already set up the default Windows Mail app on a Windows 8.x PC, you're done as soon as you link the PC with your Windows account. I've found this one of the coolest things about modern Windows: settings syncing includes full email credentials. This is not something you can even say for Apple's ecosystem. If I sign into my Apple account on a Mac and then on an iPhone, I still have to set up my mail accounts separately on each device. Putlocker prince of egypt. Not so with Windows 10: Everything just works.
Longer words are worth more points and have a greater chance of producing bonuses. As words are formed, they are removed from the grid and the remaining letters collapse to fill the available space. Bookworm adventures deluxe full version. Bookworm was released for the Nintendo DS digital distribution service DSiWare on November 30, 2009.[2] It has also been released on the regular Nintendo DS cartridge.[3] Gameplay The game requires players to match adjacent letters to form word in the English language. In November 2006, PopCap Games released a sequel, Bookworm Adventures. As in Scrabble, players earn more points by creating longer words or words which use less common letters.
If you do need to set up your mail account for the first time, the Mail client supports all the standard mail systems, including (of course) Outlook.com, Exchange, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, iCloud, and any POP or IMAP account you may have. (POP isn't a choice with Windows 8.1's Mail client, which requires the superior IMAP.) Simply enter your address and password for any of the account types, and Mail will figure out the required server settings. A big advantage of using the Mail client instead of just the Web browser version of your email is that new messages will appear in the Action Center's notifications pane, from which you can reply.
Interface
As I mentioned, Mail's interface is spare and clear, mostly getting out of the way so you can concentrate on your email's contents. The Inbox view shows a left rail of buttons that you can expand with the three-bar 'hamburger' icon. At the top are three simply designed buttons, a Plus sign for starting a new email, a head-and-shoulders icon to switch among multiple accounts, and a folders button. At the bottom are four more buttons, for Mail, Calendar, Feedback, and Settings. The Mail button seems superfluous, since you're already in mail, but perhaps it's for consistency with the Calendar app interface.
When you have no email open, you'll see a cloud image in the right panel where mail contents normally show up; you can change this to any image of your choice.
Swipe actions are a new treat for Windows Mail users. These will be familiar from smartphone mail clients. Swiping on mail entry from left to right flags it, and from right to left archives it—useful for touch screen users. For keyboard and mouse users, you have hover-over quick action buttons for both those actions plus deletion. In both modes, a multiple-selection button lets you check boxes in each mail to Archive, Delete, or move them with drag-and-drop to a folder. You can change the swipe actions to other actions, such as marking as read or deleting the mail.
Mail's Conversation view is easy to use. There's a triangular pointer next to entries with multiple messages; just tap this to expand the conversation. For my money, this view is infinitely clearer than Gmail's byzantine conversation view, with all those collapsed messages and different reply boxes, and sometime no reply option showing.
Even in Tablet mode, I found interface buttons a bit small, though I was able to tap the ones I wanted on a Microsoft Surface Pro 3.
Composing Emails
When you tap the big Plus sign, you see a very simple mail-composing pane. Typing in the address box drops down an autocomplete list of contacts starting with the letters you type, with the most frequently emailed contacts appearing at the top. As you enter message text, the Format options let you apply bold, italics, and underling styles, and a dropdown box lets you go even deeper into formatting, letting you change font, size, color, and highlighting. You can even use strikeout or subscript and superscript.
A separate Paragraph button drops down choices for bullets and numbering, indentation, alignment, and line spacing. In a word, you have free rein to style your message to taste.
The Insert tab offers four clear buttons for adding files, tables, pictures, and links to your email body. Each is sort of a subset of the menus in the free Word app that's available in the app store. For example, when you insert a picture, you can resize and reposition it, and even crop and rotate. Table options include auto-fitting contents, text rotation, color patterns, and header row options, but you can't sort columns. You can designate an email as of high importance (with a red exclamation point) or low importance (with a green down arrow). And finally, you can spell-check your work.
The Way to Mail?
Even though the Mail app is designed for touch, using it with a keyboard and mouse is completely natural and fluid. It's a clear interface that works well in either scenario. The ability to connect multiple accounts and fluid formatting and insertion choices mean it's up to all but the most-demanding email tasks. The integration with the Action Center is another plus for the app, as is the fact that once you set it up on one Windows 10 device, any other you sign into will require no setup whatsoever.

Amazon is releasing its Alexa app for Windows 10 today. While the app has been available on select Windows 10 laptops recently, today marks its launch in the Microsoft Store for all Windows 10 PCs. You can download and install it on any Windows 10 PC, but only compatible devices will support Alexa wake word functionality. If you don’t have a compatible PC then you can hit the button within the app to speak to Alexa, or invoke the assistant using a keyboard shortcut.
The Alexa for Windows 10 app includes access to now playing to control music and the ability, like any other Alexa app, to control smart home devices. Video, calls, Spotify, and Pandora are all not currently supported within this Alexa for Windows 10 app, though. Amazon hasn’t added PC specific controls to ask Alexa to do access Windows features, but Amazon says “PC-specific capabilities will be added in early 2019 in addition to ongoing feature updates.”
Amazon’s Alexa app for Windows 10 comes just months after Microsoft and Amazon released a preview of Cortana and Alexa integration. The preview lets Cortana users access Alexa, and vice versa. The integration is a little clunky, so this official Alexa app for Windows 10 will probably be a better choice for those who want to access Amazon’s digital assistant from a laptop or PC. Microsoft’s partnership with Amazon also saw Alexa support for the company’s Xbox One console recently.
