    win live mail problems in win 10


    Suddenly my email has gone haywire.
    My App for win live mail has a shield on it that means I have to open it as admin, and I get a box asking me if I want to let this programme to make changes.

    When mail opens I invariably get a box asking me to enter my password. Further, I have two addresses. one for me and another for my wife, each has a different email address but both mail lists appear on my PC and also on my wifes PC.

    I also get asked for the password for her address. On my PC I no longer get her emails but mine list in both her and my mail boxes. On her PC she gets both her and my emails listing correctly.

    I have no idea why this has suddenly happened. I got a new password for mail a few months ago and it worked fine. but now I am getting thiese problems.

    In addition it may be part of the same problem, If I try to open the app for BT Desktop Help on my PC it says that I do not have explorer 6 or higher and it will not open. I am using WIn 10 with Edge. I thought that the programme worked with Win 10.

    Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

    Thanks

    Unable to add email a/c to Mail for WIN 10.

    Win 10 Mail Executable?


    Hi, have you visited Firetrust (Mailwasher's site) or tried a general search?

    I found:
    Using mailwasher pro with Win 10 email client - Firetrust Support Forums

    I'm guessing the problem is you don't have Mail listed in the drop-down mail programs to select it as the client to be launched after 'washing' your mail.

    Note the suggestions in that forum to use e.g. Thunderbird.

    (I use Spamihilator- similar features, but is linked by means of the account, not the name of the program, acting purely as a mail filter. I use Pop peeper linked to Spamihilator first, which preprocesses my mail and allows me to read and reply to it, and scan multiple accounts, so in a way that combination acts rather like Mailwasher.

    Then I use Thunderbird to receive, sort and store emails, also linked via its account settings to Spamihilator).
