The app will receive and send my other IMAP email addresses but will not send from my hotmail account

Setup Mail app to access hotmail emails

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand your concern as you are looking for an app to access your Hotmail emails, where you can send and receive all the Hotmail emails.



In this scenario, we would suggest you to configure the Hotmail email on Mail app that comes as a default app for Windows 10. Please follow the steps as mentioned in this article:

Windows Mail - Sent Folder (Hotmail) not showing mail > 30days old


Hi All, I've searched wide and far online for an answer but have had little luck - looking to one of you for some guidance here if possible.

Issue:

• Sent mail folder in Mail application on Windows 10 doesn't sync more than 30 days of send messages for Hotmail account.
• Only Hotmail account affected on Mail application; other sub folders sync as far back as possible
• Gmail account is fine - can see years of sent email

Context:

• I have 2 accounts added to my Mail client on Windows 10 - 1 hotmail, 1 gmail
• I have Outlook mail installed on this machine also
• Windows 10 Pro
• Dell Precision M3800
• Upgraded from Windows 7 -> Windows 10

Tried:

• Removing and readding the hotmail account
• Tried removing and adding the account as POP3 account as well as the built in Hotmail autosetup link
• Removed all email accounts and readded them
• Ensured that the application has permission to access calendar (have seen this online in a few places as a possible problem maker)
• Checked that I have my sent messages (I can see them in Outlook 2013, but not in Mail -> Sent folder)

All help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Well, there you have it: it WAS a phishing attack.
Email phishing attack spreads to Gmail and Yahoo

As if someone would just hack Microsoft's servers, pah!
