Hi I think that it is personal prefence. I use my Mac about 80% of the time. I use a virtual windows machine. I don’t use Microsoft products on the Mac side, except Word. Everything else in windows. Email for me works much better on he Mac side, I have different email boxes for personal email, and DeafBlind division things. I also kee separate email boxes for outlook, and iCloud email.
All of the above is to highlight how I chose to organize my email for instance. Bodom line is it comes down personal presence. Maurice Mines. President Nfb DeafBlind Division.
