I know there are similar threads but I couldn't find any threads that really answers what I'm looking for and because services change over time, I really want to know everyone's current opinion.
I've found myself sending more professional emails lately with school and intership/job applications. Up until now, the bulk of my email use was miscellaneous conversations with friends and family and online account creation so I'm relatively green when it comes to all of this IMAP and POP3 stuff. I'm hoping to learn what the general consensus is on email providers, online or desktop, email protocols, etc.. it's all a bit overwhelming. What's important and what's not when considering a new email client?
I also want to say that have been using Gmail for my email and iCloud for my contacts and calendar but now I'm considering an "all-in-one" email platform to consolidate my calendar, email address book, reminders/notes. I'm leaning towards Outlook.com because of it's simple and aesthetically pleasing UI. Does a clean UI even matter? I think it has one of the better online ecosystems with 30GB of free OneDrive storage and also the free online MS Office suite which is convenient for students like myself.
