Answer 1

The most appropriate response would be:

**No, testing with external email accounts would not be beneficial since that is out of the software scope.**

Since the email client is designed for internal communication within the organization, testing it with external accounts may not accurately reflect how well it meets the specific demands of internal communication and could introduce variables that are not relevant to its primary use case. It’s more effective to focus on how the email client performs under conditions that reflect its intended environment and usage.
