Microsoft made its Mail & Calendar app inoperable this month in an effort to migrate people to the new Outlook. Our Senior Editor Zac Bowden covered the end of support for Mail & Calendar and the fact that the app can no longer send or receive emails through the application. That left me with the question, "now what?" I don't like the new Outlook app, and I know I'm not alone in that opinion. Luckily, a third-party developer has come in to save the day with Wino Mail.
Burak Kaan Köse, the developer of Wino Mail, is clear that the app is based on Mail & Calendar. "Wino Mail, built-in Mail app clone for Windows device families," reads the app's description. "Wino is not a web wrapper. It's a native mail client that works with all Windows device families."
I've only tested the app for a brief time, but it's been reliable and performed well in that period. I'll keep using it as my daily email client and share my experience. The are some limitations at the moment, such as the app only checking for notifications every three minutes. Hopefully that time can be reduced in the future.

You can use Wino Mail for free with up to three accounts. If you'd like to use more than three accounts, you need to pay for the app. The unlimited version of the app costs £8.39 in the UK. I'm still confirming US pricing.

The problem with Wino Mail is that it doesn't support Yahoo email yet
There is a website:
A GitHub page:
And you contact the developer through email : bkaankose at outlook.com
You can always ask if he will add Yahoo support.
