The function that makes Microsoft Outlook unique and important is that of the calendar and the task management to be assigned to people (Task and Event Management) is also used in 90% of companies because integrates with the e-mail server Microsoft Exchange (if you work in the company you will notice that the internal contacts are shared by everyone). Until a few years ago there was Outlook Express, a very basic but free mail client, which however is no longer developed and distributed by Microsoft (also Windows Live Mail which had taken its place since 2016 is no longer supported).

The only problem is that Outlook is part of the Office suite and therefore it is not available for free.

This monopoly is entirely deserved because Outlook is, without a doubt, among the best programs but developed by Microsoft and the best client with which to organize e-mail. When it comes to email client to install on the desktop, there seems to be a real Microsoft monopoly because the first and only name that comes to mind is, without any doubt, Microsoft Outlook.
