Microsoft Edge uses the Windows email default setting. While there is no direct way to choose Gmail as the default email client in Windows or in Microsoft Edge, one workaround is to set up Gmail as the default email program in Google Chrome and then select Chrome as the default for all emails.
Clear Microsoft Edge's Cache and Cookies
If you cannot access a particular website on Edge, most probably, it is being caused due to corrupt cookies and cache data. You will have to clear the cookies and cache data as a solution. Here's how to do it. Open Microsoft Edge and click on three dots at the top right corner.
Microsoft accounts
When you create a Microsoft account, you can use any email address as the user name, including addresses from Outlook.com, Yahoo! or Gmail.
Both are very secure platforms, but Gmail offers better spam protection. Security is extremely important for email, and both Gmail and Outlook ensure protection for their users. Both platforms offer security features like two-factor authentication, encryption in transit, and confidential mode.
In general, Google doesn't make desktop apps for its services. Instead, it relies on web apps that can be used in any web browser. This approach has a few advantages. First, it means that you can use Gmail on any computer, whether it's a Windows PC, a Mac, or even a Chromebook.
Resource Consumption. While both are significantly fast browsers, Edge might have a slight advantage. Based on a test in which six pages were loaded on each browser, Edge used 665MB of RAM, while Chrome used 1.4 GB. This would make a significant difference for systems running on limited memory.
You can have both browsers and use whichever works better for a given website. But, if you want to choose one, go with Chrome if you use several web apps or if you're heavily invested in the Google ecosystem. If that doesn't appeal to you and you use a Windows PC, Microsoft Edge is installed on the device.
Microsoft Edge is now displaying in-browser alerts that discourage users from downloading Google Chrome by bashing the popular browser. As developers compete for control of browser market share, it is not uncommon for them to try and discourage users from downloading competing browsers.
Because browsers tend to render and display HTML code in similar ways, accessing your account in a browser other than the one you currently use (i.e. Firefox instead of Edge) should have no impact on your email account at all.
What Are the Disadvantages of Using Microsoft Edge? Privacy is its biggest disadvantage. Microsoft collects a lot of data on its users through the browser itself, Bing, and through Windows hardware. Edge allows users to opt out of some data collection, but not all.
Chrome may be the most secure browser on the internet, but t's also one of the worst for user privacy. Google Chrome is available for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and Linux.
Microsoft Edge has built in AI-powered features that enhance your browsing experience including a side-by-side view making it easier and faster to shop, get in-depth answers, summarize information, or discover new inspiration to build upon, all without leaving your browser or switching tabs.
Any web browser—Go to mail.google.com. and choose Gmail.
1 Gmail Email Setup for Windows Mail

It looks like a spam email. It is better to disregard the email and try to block the sender's email and domain "if it is not a Microsoft domain", as well as the IP address. Once you have taken all the above steps to increase your security, make sure to reset your account password and set up a stronger one.
