    Windows 10 Update 20H2 Outlook Desktop Client Email Accounts Gone


    This evening my laptop installed a feature update to Windows 10 - 20H2. Upon restarting and launching Outlook 2019, it appeared to start like a new install of outlook. I use outlook.com for my personal email and it already had my email address entered and I clicked next. When Outlook 2019 loaded most of my mail folders were gone and an empty inbox.


    Upon further investigation. My PST data file looks intact. What appears to have happened is that my mail profile was modified or reset. I lost my three POP3 email accounts including my outlook.com that downloaded mail into my PST data file. Instead, it is opening my outlook.com as a Microsoft Exchange file to a OST data file and no longer opening my PST data file.


    I am not sure if there is a faster way to fix what this update broke. I think I need to close this new OST data file, open my original PST data file and then re-create my email accounts in outlook.


    I have never had a Windows Update mess with my Outlook email like this.

    :)

    SO today my friend asked me if i could post this question on the forum:



    He wants to configure a outlook account with 1 email, with that outlook account he wants to run the same account in 2 diferent computers he wants the both computer to be connected in network, for example:



    • he receives a email and that email is sent to each computer;
    • he deletes a email from one computer and it also deletes on the other;
    • he moves a email to a folder it also moves on the other computer;
    If you guys can help me would be nice!

    How to install outlook express on windows xp with explorer 8?

    This is an awkward problem to solve and one I don't think is worth the time and effort.

    The OP would be better off either using a modern webmail service like gmail or outlook.com or using a modern email client like Windows Live Mail like FX-GMC suggested or Thunderbird from Mozilla. If nothing else, Outlook Distress was notorious for corrupting its data files and losing all your email in one easy step. Not worth it.

    Is there a free email client for desktop use

    I use Outlook for my main email but I also have an gmail account as well as a hotmail (outlook). I would like a free email client that I can install on my computer so I can have a desktop email client for my gmail and hotmail accounts so I don't have to access it via web mail. Is there a free email client that works with windows 10?
