Outlook or Exchange on PCs and phone . Also, GoDaddy for domain name. Through GoDaddy, you can get Exchange too and have everything synced up, they offer Office 365 for PC or cell, which I love.?ÿ

Thunderbird with Lightning calendar. Have, for more than a decade.
POP mail, hosted on webmasters.com ... part of the website hosting package I have had for ages (and backed-up to my own cloud & locally)

I moved away from Outlook about 10 years ago when I was no longer required to use it by employers.

I keep some Gmail and Yahoo accounts but seldom use them.

Thunderbird for email, with a POP account at a local ISP that also forwards to my Gmail account.?ÿ I have Gmail set up so that the FROM address is my local ISP address.

Google Calendar, though I don't use it all that much.?ÿ I've never really warmed up to Lightning, though I have it running.

LibreOffice for word processing, spreadsheets and presentations.?ÿ MS Access for my business database.?ÿ I've been using the latter to keep track of clients, jobs, invoices, checks, receipts and time tickets for 26 years.?ÿ I tried using LibreOffice Base on the file, but it was unacceptably slow.?ÿ I didn't have time to mess around trying to optimize a conversion, so just went ahead and bought Access 2016.

Peachtree Complete Accounting v10.?ÿ It's still hanging on despite its age.?ÿ I'm hoping it'll see me through to retirement in a few years, but I'm not confident it'll make it that far.?ÿ I almost lost it in the switch to Windows 10, but eventually figured out how to keep it going.

Office 365 Business Premium and loving it. Not a fan of Google anything. But I'll certainly have an Android phone before I'd ever go Apple. One reason is that I can Microsoftize the Android phone -- MS makes some really great Android apps for its products.

"Microsoftize" - thanks for the new vocabulary word, Wendell. ?????ÿ

I put a little time in on my wife's computer trying to Googlify her Outlook calendar. I found a free program on Github that did the trick. ?????ÿ

My company is Microsoft all the way - Outlook 365, Word, Excel. Timesheets are done with InFocus, and we are migrating to using it for accounting and invoicing. It promises big things, but I don't think it has matured enough to actually deliver.
