Windows 10 mail

[red_slr]

Migrating onto a win 10 machine, got my email working, kinda…. however I cant fathom how you create folders? Also cant see message rules in there anywhere? Anyone got any ideas?

I use it, it's crap but my wife can use it.

Anything complex I open gmail in a browser and do it there.

Sorry just to clarify I am using POP3.

I use Thunderbird from Mozilla. Seems okay.

It's not great. I use it for a personal account on my work machine.

View folders, then more and click the + at the top.



Any reason you're using POP? IMAP is usually the better choice in most circumstances.

Use imap

[red_slr]

I am not sure if that's possible? Can you swap easily?

That + sign is not there on mine?

[LordGrover]

Perhaps that's a feature/restriction of POP3?

[red_slr]

I never had a problem on windows mail on win 7 though?

It also looks like rules have vanished.... today may not be a good day!

Use imap

IMAP isn't always available - for instance, Zen don't offer it.

Without wanting to sound like an arse I would then suggest a change of email provider.

[red_slr]

I am going to try setting it all up again but using imap.

So IMAP works on 2 accounts that I have and I get the +

But on my main account it does not work.

Hmm.... looks like a call to our ISP but I suspect I am looking at buying some software - does anyone know of a decent cheap email software?

[randlemarcus]

There's no reason to run your own email software. Its complicated, prone to trouble and business critical. Move to O365, or GSuite, both of which have much better systems, the ability to use your own domain, and are cheaper than getting it wrong.

[red_slr]

My ISP handles the emails and domains. I just need the software on my PC so I can read / reply / file them.

Account capabilities are dependent on when your account was created, I don't recall the exact date, but older accounts have more functionality than newer ones.
