I prefer outlook more than gmail. I personally faced difficulty in using Gmail, moreover only the issue was too many buttons w/o text was confusing me. Now I got used to it, since I was using/configuring my sis's android phone.

Gmail for day-to-day. Outlook for submitting malware samples. Gmail blocks all malware submissions, even compressed and password-protected (not sure how it knows).

I am using two Gmail accounts as official email service because of the Gdrive storage and google docs usability.Never needed a desktop email client other than that the ancient hotmail accounts just for logging into skype. I also have two yahoo accounts one for junk, freebies, giveaways, sample submissions,news groups, etc and another for important email backups.

I tried many times to the SUD through Gmail, even with the password it blocks the sample! I thought I was doing it wrong, when the outlook to send smoothly :D

Been using Gmail the most for like 5 years now. Most of the important stuff is linked to that account.

But I' currently using Protonmail for everything else these days.
