Windows 10 Mail - help!
My other half has just bought herself a brand new Windows 10 laptop and I have been setting it up for her. Managed to get the MS supplied Mail programme linked to her existing POP email account and she can now download and read her emails and quite likes the layout.
However, there appeared at first to be no mechanism for importing contacts (address book) from her old computer. I solved this by creating a new outlook.com email account, importing her address book into that and then linking that new account into Win 10 Mail. Messy, but works. However, no way that I can see to set up groups of contacts which is a shame because she used that quite a lot with her old computer (using Outlook). There is also no way that I can see to set up sub-folders to store emails according to their content. The only option appears to be just one huge inbox.
However, the bit I really dislike is that emails that are deleted only seem to stay in the Deleted Items folder for about 3 minutes and then disappear and are then gone for ever! Bad luck if you accidently delete something important. Surely this cannot be right?
Anyone find a way to get around these problems?
Edited to add that it has also deleted the emails from the server so I can't even get them back using the old computer!
