Windows 10: Windows mail removes mail from hotmail

I started using windows mail for my msn account and i recently moved to a new pc and when i configured it none of my old emails were there. I logged into hotmail and they were not there either.

Does windows mail remove the mail from hotmail?

Windows 10 Intercepting Hotmail Account

Are you using your Hotmail address to login to Windows 10?

If yes, then the Hotmail account will be setup in the Windows 10 Mail app and cannot be removed.

However, the Mail app itself can be removed.

The Mail app will sync emails and folders. It does not download the emails and then remove them from the server.

What may be happening is that the Mail app has the server tied up. I will move this thread to the Mail app forum.

The November 10 Windows 10 update includes some changes to the Mail app.

 

E72 - Removing email account.

I also have a problem removing Hotmail from the Nokia E72.



I had used the Nokia Messaging to create mailboxes for Ovi Mail, Yahoo mail and GMail on the E72 (I recall the Yahoo mail was creating using the built-in Nokia Messaging, while the Ovi Mail required web access / 3G/GPRS to created, Gmail also created with
built-in app).



However, I didn't create a Hotmail mailbox on the cellphone. It appears to be automatically created when I installed Windows Live Messenger for Symbian (from here: Kundensupport | Nokia Phones ).



I was testing the Windows Live Messenger for S60 (I didn't register for a Hotmail email but used another email address).



After removing the Windows Live Messenger, the Hotmail mailbox is still there, now replaced with a "?" icon. The Hotmail mailbox isn't listed in the Email Settings (only Ovi Mail / Yahoo mail / Gmail mailboxes are listed), so I can't find a way to remove
the mailbox.



The Hotmail mailbox seems to be different from the Ovi / Yahoo / Gmail mailboxes since it appears on the top line. Also, there's a single Hotmail message "Windows Live Hotmail Services - Welcome to Windows Live" -- I can view the "list" view (message subject
headers) only but can't "enter" the message to view the message content.





How do I remove this Hotmail mailbox?

 

No, my old Hotmail Account Emails are in a Folder labelled Hotmail.com
That's for 2 Microsoft Accounts. Those were changed to Outlook Mail back in 2012. At that time MS were supposedly abandoning Hotmail.

Perhaps you should look at the Options for your Account, they keep changing those and there are dozens of pages.

Also look at the Mail App settings > Manage Accounts , change it to "Any time". It may have set itself to "the last month".

 

So right now i am logged into windows mail and it is showing me messages from 4/8/17 til 4/27 but when i go to hotmail, the last message in the inbox is at 3/5/17

Why is that?

 

Nevermind, it was that stupid new focused feature they put, when i went to other it was all there
