Windows 10: Adding a new account asks for email...then nothing happens

I added a new user acct to Windows 10. It asked for an email address (I entered my Yahoo email address)...and nothing has arrived in my inbox. How does this work?

:)

 

All emails deleted C7

Thanks for the quick reply but still no emails. Tried deleting the account and adding it again as new but still nothing. I'll contact my email provider tomorrow to see if anything's happened there. Cheers

 

Nokia account default email

One possible explanation for the trouble - the password asked when adding a new email address to the Nokia account is the Nokia account password - not the password for the email address being added.

Just to make sure. How did you add your Yahoo account ?

Did you open Mail app > click the gear icon > Manage Accounts > + Add account ?

If yes, open Mail app > top left click the hamburger icon ( the 3 line icon ) > that will show you the accounts in the system > click yahoo and see if you have mails.

 

If the matter is settled, here is something you might want to use...............

Setup notification and sound for in-coming mails.

Open Mail app > click the gear icon > right side, click Notifications >see screenshot......................

 

No. When I was creating a new user account, I was presented with a popup that asks "How will this user sign in?"

I then entered the existing Yahoo email address.

 

Would you care to try the method I posted in post #2 ?

 

I recalled that the Yahoo email that I entered was also a Microsoft account. I simply used the password and the account setup was completed. Thanks for replies!

 

You are welcome.

Happy computing.
