    Can't change to FOCUS MAIL off on my hotmail account; setting closes program


    I have Win10 and a hotmail account set up via Windows mail. When I try to change settings, a few settings open successfully, but some merely close the program. In particular, when I try to change from Focus Mail ON to FOCUS OFF, the entire mail app simply closes. What to do?

    :)

    Hotmail accounts posted online

    Thousands of Hotmail passwords have been hacked and posted online, according to reports.

    See this arcticle for more details:

    I suggest that you change your password if you use any "Live" accounts.

    send to mail does not open the mail program although it has been set as standard mail program

    Sorry, but it doesn't work. Default program has been correctly set to windows "mail"program.Does the fact, that the mail program has two connected email accounts (Hotmail and gmail) have any significance?
