Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports automatic email receiving and manual inbox refresh. After refresh, the newest email appears at the top of the list.	Outlook automatically checks for new mail and also lets users sync mail manually with Sync or F9.	Gmail can receive new mail automatically when Sync Gmail is on, and users can refresh manually when needed.	Notion Mail syncs with Gmail in real time and lets users manage inbox messages through a Gmail-connected workflow.	Acrobat does not provide a general email inbox. Its Inbox or Tracker capability is for RSS subscriptions and feed updates.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps automatic receiving and manual refresh focused on the current inbox list, which is practical for quickly checking whether a new message has arrived.	Compared with WPS: Outlook offers similar automatic and manual sync behavior, but the command name and entry can vary by version.	Compared with WPS: Gmail depends on sync settings for automatic updates, and manual refresh behavior depends on the app or interface.	Compared with WPS: Notion Mail provides real-time Gmail sync, but it is built around Gmail-connected accounts rather than a broader mail setup.	Compared with WPS: There is no direct equivalent for a standard email inbox receiving workflow.

Receive Email in WPS on Windows is suitable for users who want to open the inbox and quickly confirm whether new mail has arrived.
