Windows
Live mail (EML) and Outlook (PST) both email applications have their
own importance. But due to some extensive and vast features of
Outlook, most of the users prefer to choose Outlook as their email
application. Now a day’s social networking has a great value.

profile, attachment reminder, Skype connectivity with their outlook
account and many more new features are also introduced.
