Windows 10: POP3 mail syncs with W10 Mail app / does not sync with W11 Mail app

I have a new Windows 11 Laptop and am unable to add a legacy email account to the Mail App using exactly the same settings as used in the Windows 10 Mail App.Email account is from a still supported legacy ISP: virgin.netCurrent ISP: btinternet.comProfile being used is a local profile for an additional userI confirm this email is still active and still works & syncs fine in the W10 Mail App even if the laptop itself is on it's knees.The Windows 11 App states "Nothing has arrived yet".Status claims is is syncing - this is continual and never changes Setup parameters exactly as entered into

error in Mail app trying to sync pop3 account


I've configured my pop3 account in the Mail app and it gives me error 0x080072af9 when trying to sync for the first time

 

Auto sync Windows 10 Mail app

I have a problem with Mail app on a Windows 10 system (updated from Windows 8).
The sync settings just don't work on any email accounts and (of course) in the calendar app. I can open mail app up and force a manual refresh/sync which will also update the calendar with entries I make remotely or via phone but the regularity of checks is not working. Do others see this? It kind of makes the lives tiles redundant as the actual apps will only sync manually.
I've checked other solutions like

• Enable\Disable sync options in Settings under "Calendar" section
  
• Run troubleshooting app from Microsoft
  
• Rebooting system
  
• Set app sync on "as items arrive" or "every 15 minutes"
  
• Update mail app
  
• Disable firewall
  

None of these "fixes" worked. Everything else is working fine. If I press sync button it works (it downloads mail and calendar events) but the app doesn't do this automatically.

Someone has\had same problem? And have you managed to rectify this problem?

I think this is the problem.




As an experiment I tried it, no joy.
