I don't know the ins and outs but I was able to set up multiple email accounts on multiple apps on my Windows 10 - Mail, Microsoft Outlook, browser.

On any one of the app, I can choose to select which email account I see and only emails on that account are visible. To see other emails, I select whichever email account I use.

One benefit for me is that I don't like Gmail's reply or compose feature so I go to either Outlook or Mail to do my response.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

It's not so much a question of "not liking it" (*) so much as it being a proprietary, single-source solution that runs on only a single server platform. All characteristics I avoid whenever possible.

I disliked Lotus Notes for many of the same reasons. (**)

Well, that and the fact Lotus Notes was so-poorly-designed and written it actually made MS-Exchange look good. E.g.: At least Microsoft got writing email "Received:" headers right. The dim bulbs over at Lotus couldn't even do that simple thing right. That particular bit of ineptitude could have nasty real-world consequences.

(*) Actually, I did dislike MS-Exchange for another reason: I admin'd an Exchange Server, once. Hated it. Couldn't wait to get it out of my computer room.
(**) Lotus Notes' server at least ran on Unix, though.
