Microsoft Outlook is the most frequently used email client by professionals and companies. Its success is very much related to its integration with the Microsoft Windows system. It’s also used for managing personal data and, usually, is part of the Office applications, but can be installed separately.

Windows Live Mail, Outlook 2007, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2013, and 2016 versions are very alike, mainly their configuration tabs. With this, the Outlook 2010 tutorial is also useful for the 2013 version, for example.
