I'm getting annoyed with the unreliability of my phone's notifications due to heavy task managers i need to keep it alive for more than 5 hours , and would like something in the taskbar tray ,  with hopefully some sound ( nothing like avast's ear exploding messages ).

 

Managing multiple accounts would be nice , but my main one would be enough . It's a yahoo mail account ( i'm so sorry i chose yahoo , but it was 2005 and yahoo messenger was hot back then )

All I know about is Outlook or maybe even Thunderbird.

You are on a need to know basis, and you don't need to know.

Nothing, I just check my email periodically.

I use the yahoo mail app. It's not the best but its useable.

Outlook for work, and gmail tab open as I do lots of work from a browser. 

Then Outlook for Android and Gmail on android to let me know when I'm away. 

 

 

 

I would like to look into options for integrating gmail into windows 10 action center.

I tried to use the Win10 Mail app, but I couldn't stand it, so I switched back to Thunderbird.

Don't use task managers instead use a power saver because their don't fully close apps so you can get a more reliable email notifications.
