Windows 10: How to ensure Win Mail, Calendar and Contacts will synch when adding a new e-mail account

I have a Yahoo e-mail account through BT. I have been accustomed to using the Windows 10 mail client to access it and the associated calendar and contacts. Recently, I had to delete and re-create the account on my PC. I used the set-up process to add the account again IMAP4 using advanced settings. This worked perfectly and the e-mails and folders all appear in my Windows Mail client. However, Windows does NOT synchronise either its contacts or calendar apps.

To be specific, once the e-mail account is working, the calendar app looks like this:





Note that it has not picked up the Yahoo account I’ve already added and none of the “Add an account” options allow me to ask it to use one it already knows about. I get an error message if I use advanced set-up to attempt to add the account a second time.

Going into the working Mail client, the settings are as follows:



I know from previous cases when all was working correctly that the “Synch options” part should include Contacts and Calendar radio-buttons but I can’t see any way to force them to appear.


The advanced mailbox settings are likewise deficient, as follows:






When all is working correctly the Synch options section should show connection to the Calendar server https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com and Contacts server https://carddav.address.yahoo.com. How can this be fixed? I’m on Win 10 v 1909, OS build 18363.535, fully up-to-date.

Thanks for any suggestions!

E-Mail contacts

I know how to access the contacts in Win 10 mail. Either do new mail or forward. Click the To and type in a letter in a contact that you want to send the e-mail . A download list will appear with all of the contracts that have that letter either in the first or last name. It is still difficult to do multiple e-mails in the To .

 

Exporting & Importing to new e-mail account

I am closing an e-mail account that I have been using for many years. I am not worried about e-mails, the ones I need, I have copied to my new e-mail account. What has me stuck is getting all my contacts into my new e-mail account. I have tried exporting and importing without any success. There is a lot of information in my contacts and it would take way too long to enter all the information manually.


Any suggestions? Please have some suggestions!

 

E-Mail contacts


The Win 10 Mail does not have a connection to contacts. If you want to forward or send E-Mail, you have to open the People app and copy and paste to the To line in the Web 10 Mail page. Is there a way to have the contacts button on the Web 10 mail page? I had to download Win Live Mail so that I could forward E-Mails to several contacts at one time.
