    How disable autocorrect/spell check in Windows 10 Mail app?

    Same with virtually all other people here, the solution doesn't work and it's very frustrating especially if you typing in non-english language. I have to resort to typing my email in notepad and later copy+paste into mail which is quite ridiculous.

    Please look into this matter, this topic started on Dec 2015, 3 years passed without resolution for a world class company is a whole new low.

    How disable autocorrect/spell check in Windows 10 Mail app?

    We are August 2019 now and toggling autocorrect off in the language settings on the main page, didn't stop the issue. Typing the Dutch phrase "Iemand
    heeft een probleem" would still be autocorrected to "Iemand
    heft een problem".

    As many confirmed, toggling off autocorrect misspelled words in settings > language > Spelling, typing and keyboard, does not cut it.

    On the bottom of the page with these settings, you should find a section "More keyboard settings" and a topic "Suggestions and autocorrections"

    Once I toggled off the autocorrections there as well, the issue in the windows 10 mail app stopped occuring (I closed and re-opened the mail app once, before testing, but not sure this is required).

    I didn't spend time backtracing my steps and trying to confirm whether this in fact was the solution, but possibly this helps others, who are as frustrated as I was with this issue.

    Microsoft Mail Windows 10 - Can't disble Autocorrect spelling

    I need to disable autocorrect spelling on Microsoft Mail Windows 10. I do have it set to disable autocorrect spelling. It workson all apps except the mail app, where it ignores my setting and continues to autocorrect spelling, much to my frustration. I
    have searched for an answer but have not found anything that works. Again, this only malfunctions on Windows Mail.

    Thank you for any suggestions to correct this problem.
