I need the paid version of Outlook because I use a POP/3 setting. This 
allows me to check email on all my devices but they remain as shown 
unread on the any device I have not check my email on. I like that 
setting because I look at email on my iphone but then I like to check it 
again on the laptop. Thunderbird does work fine really for email I just 
think outlook would be more user friendly. It is not slow but seems when 
retrieving mail to at times not be super fast about it. I don't want to 
pay the $70. because really although not expensive I don't want to give 
in to little things as they add up if you keep that mentality.
