Windows 10: Windows 10/11 Mail app – can’t enable email security & can’t check email details either

I wanted to check details of an email I was sent the other day. In Live Mail you could right click on the email before opening it and it would give you various actions. On that menu was “properties”, click on that and it would give you the address of the sender. To my amazement, there’s nothing like that on Windows 10 MAIL or Windows 11 MAIL. I’ve never had the reading pane open but if I used this option on MAIL could it activate a virus or possibly open an attachment?

Use OAuth or secure mail key for email apps

I am getting the following notice about using an email which I do. I am using windows 8.1. I don't know the name of the email app that I am using. Do I need to do anything to continue getting my email? Thank you for any help that you can offer.

Access AT&T email with an email app that uses OAuth

If you’re like most people, you have email apps that let you read and manage email on your computer and mobile devices. For your security, we suggest you only use email apps with an email technology known as Open Authentication or OAuth.
OAuth encrypts your username and password to protect your info from hackers and fraudsters.

Start setting up a new email account in your app. Your app may offer you a list of email providers that includes Yahoo. If it does, your email app is OAuth compatible. Be sure to select Yahoo as your provider. You’re all set![/td][/tr][/table]

Non-OAuth compatible email apps

• Outlook 2010, 2013, 2016
• Mozilla Thunderbird
• Windows Mail on personal computers running Windows 8 or older

We suggest you switch to an email app that has OAuth. Get step-by-step instructions on how to set up or update your email account in several popular email apps, using our Troubleshoot

Access AT&T email through an email app using a secure mail key

If you prefer to use an email app that isn’t compatible with OAuth, you’ll have to create a special code called a secure mail key. You’ll use this secure mail key instead of your AT&T password when you set up an email app.

Deleting emails in Windows Mail does not delete emails across all mail clients?

I have setup my gmail account in Windows 10's standard mail app.

I would like to make it so when I delete, read, or otherwise modify an email in the Windows 10 client, for that to show across all my other email reading devices.

For example: When I delete an email on my iPhone, it also is already deleted when I open the mail app on a mac.

Currently, reading an email or marking it as read does not sync. Deleting an email also does not sync.

I would like to be able to delete an email on Windows 10 Mail, and have it be deleted across all mail clients, or read and email or so on.

How do I enable this?
