Windows 10: windows 10 MAIL

I have got new computer and was getting my mail using MAIL(outlook/Hotmail).
But I am getting a lot of spam ,so thought id try Spamfighter.
After a lot of searching I find I'm connecting thro IMAP and I need to use POP3 ?
But as I'm signed in with Microsoft it tied my email account thro IMAP and I cant delete it.I searched your site and web but found no advice .
I could do reinstall>delete Microsoft sign in ?,
I was wondering if I can set up my same Hotmail address as a second "pop account" ?
Any advice would help.
regards

Email Error Code 0x80040902

If Window 10 Email doesn't work, then Windows 10 is a mistake! Your fix doesn't work, that is where I had it originally. When I first set it up, it worked, now it doesn't. BAD!

 

Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

OK, so i figured it out myself

Found the logfile in "C:\Windows\Minidump".

You need the Windows Development Kit to open it and a bit of googling to understand it.

Found out that a Daemon driver caused an error. Removed Daemon but this didn't solve it. (ps: Daemon itself worked normally).

I let hibernate my computer again and found another error with sptd2.sys: SCSI Pass Through Direct layer

More google and ended up on the duplexsecure site. Downloaded the W10 version and voila: problem fixed.

For the Windows support team: It would be really helpfull if you could pass problems to a more skilled helpdesk who can do more than proposing the standard solutions in case those won't work.

Cheers

 

Hello arthos have you tried changing settings online here: Connect devices and apps with POP

 

link taking me to my email?? that's all ??

 

Also for more information on setting up your accounts with the app: Set up your account in Mail for Windows 10 - Outlook

 

It should be taking you to this:

 

yes read it .but my email is set up alredy thro IMAP and there is no way to delete the account ,so that I can set up as pop3

 

Is this what you mean, not just for the app, but, your account in general:

Change email account settings - Outlook

How do I change outlook from IMAP to POP - Microsoft Community

 

I don't actually have outlook.
outlook.com took over my Hotmail account? in the past ?
I have MAIL the new windows 10 app. which takes me to my Hotmail address

 

The settings for hotmail are the same as outlook. They are the same thing(for quite some time now), just under different names.
hotmail is now outlook - Bing

 

I'm getting confused cliff s,
I have mail app which connects using IMAP, MAIL will not let you alter or delete the account.
and it is the MAIL app that calls up my mail.??
regards

 

Try that link I gave you where you can connect with POP in post #2. Yes you have IMAP, but this should make the changes necessary, as the changes must be made with the online version of your mail account. It's the same with Gmail Hotmail, Outlook and other accounts. You don't do it on the device.

 

was that the : connect devices to pop: ?cos that link just took me to my mail

 

If it doesn't take you there, then, at your account click the gear icon, choose option. At the options page choose Connect devices and apps with POP
