Windows 10: POP3 Email Account on Mail App - Can't add Folders

I have seen this question but no answers. This is hard to believe - that microsoft doesn't enable the Mail App to be fully functional for POP3 accounts. I need to be able to set up folders within my email account to organize my work. There is no "+" sign by accounts or mail or folders. There is no setting, no right click to add folder, nothing logical.


How do I add folders to my POP3 email account that I have added to the Mail App in WIndows 10 on my new laptop?!??!!

POP3 email account with Outlook & Outlook Connector - Process?

Looking for some guidance/suggestions on procedure.

Scenario:

• ISP-provided, LONG established pop email account
• Outlook used w/personal folders for contacts, email, calendar
• Large archives (folders) of saved email (home biz related)

So, there are several questions I have about the "right" way to go about integrating these different aspects (as right as we can be since MS dumped Outlook sync that is...).

Contacts - simple enough to move them over to the Live account's contacts folder and to make only that folder visible as the address book. However, how does one make the Live contacts folder the default location
targeted if one clicks on an email's sender and chooses "add to Outlook contacts"? Experimentation shows that this still ends up in the .pst's contacts folder. Any way to change this?

Email - First, it is NOT possible to abandon the pop3 account in favor of the .live.com address created. What is the most efficient way to interweave the pop3 mail with the Live inbox folder that's synced with
the phone? My thoughts are to keep the various saved email folders in the pst and to check the pop3 account using the Live inbox. I know it's possible via the Live mail web interface to add a pop3 account, but how does Live handle pop3 messages in terms
of leaving them on the server, sending from the pop3 account, etc? Would it be simpler to set up the email account as a separate pop3 account on the phone, leaving the Live sync in charge of contacts and calendar? Finally, if a pop3 account is set up on
the phone how does it handle messages in terms of deleted on phone, deleted on server, etc?

Any options I'm not thinking of? The fly in the ointment (again, aside from lack of Outlook support) is the absolute necessity of keeping the pop3 address. I'm hoping there's a relatively seamless way to make this email account function.

Thanks for any tips/steps suggested!

 

POP3 Mail Account adding folders

I am having the same problem. I am using the app Mail. I am logged in as a Local account and do not want to log in to computer with a Microsoft account. I am using POP3 email account and can send and receive mail. I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO ADD FOLDERS and
am very frustrated. This is a brand new computer and not an upgraded version of windows 10.

Should I be able to add folders as a Local Account? ...and if so any more suggestions?
