Windows 10: Sorting email account in Mailbox

The Mailbox in Win10, "by design" which means lack of feature, sorts your email accounts in the order you create them with the oldest at the top.


Not great, but we live with it.


Then Microsoft comes out with the "Linking" feature which whatever mailboxes you want can be linked together. Less looking at each.


Useful. It's also easy to unlink.


BUT when you unlink them, they resort in a completely random order:

NOT alphabetical,

NOT in the order they were created originally,

NOT by domains


WHAT????


The Problem: With many accounts, the Mailbox is extremely useful, but when you load it, and are deleting junk mail which you get in spades with many accounts, you can accidently delete a piece of mail that just pops up are you click the garbage can.

Scenario: I just opened Mailbox and was rapidly clicking the garbage can to delete the top 6 pieces of junk. The second click was a piece of mail that "popped" up I deleted it, then deleted the next piece fast fingers stopped and undeleted, but it only undeletes 1 piece. So now I have to 'unlink' all my mail accounts so I can check each accounts deleted mail to find what got deleted.


That's when I found my account order is all messed up.


Any way to return my account lists to what I had originally?

Unauthorized Emails from my account?

It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

 

email account hacked. please help

Also may I suggest you change email accounts to one of the following.....

Gmail
Outlook

The reason is they both use "Step two verification". This style of verification means even if a hacker gets your password they cannot log in to your account. You see every time someone try's to log in that hasn't been verified you will get a text or a phone call giving you a final code to log in. Its very easy and simple to setup also. The great thing is once you setup your Email application with a specific "application password" from that account you never have to log in again AND your account is protected from being logged in from foreign entities.

I like the new outlook personally however Gmail is also damn good. Gmail also has an IP tracker that allows you to see WHERE the account has been logged in from. Anyway let us know if you wanna change over and have any questions. We will be happy to help and welcome to TPU!

 

Windows 10 - Email Account

Hi Graham,

Conflicts with the security certificate settings is one of the possible reasons why you are having an account settings out-of-date issues. I would suggest that you follow the steps below and check if it helps:

• Choose Settings > Manage Accounts.
• Choose the account that's out-of-date to display the account settings dialog.
• Choose Change mailbox sync settings > Advanced mailbox settings. You may have to scroll down in the dialog to see
  Advanced mailbox settings.
• Check the boxes for Require SSL for incoming email and
  Require SSL for outgoing email and then choose Done >
  Save.

If the issue persists, you can follow the steps in this
