This is my first new computer in five years. I used to have Vista. Now I have Windows 10.
I'm totally confused about how I set-up the default mailprogram or how to change something vital.
Originally, I wanted Windows Live Mail like before, but I guess 2012 was the last version and it has two issues: I can't import my old calendar into it and it refuses to allow me to pin to the taskbar which would be very nice.
So fine, I thought, I will try the Windows Mail program. Honestly, I'm not sure what I did at first, but I created an email account, which I think became my primary account. It seems to call it an "Outlook" account but there is a weird symbol next to the name, like a box with an E or something. It only has two options "Change Mailbox Sync Settings" and " Change Account Settings." Under Sync Settings, it only will let me type in a server, but I don't understand that because normally I need to enter both incoming and outgoing server information. For instance, I created another account, and under Sync Settings, I can scroll down to Advanced Settings, and change it to income email server and outgoing email server.
I keep getting an error message for this odd primary account in that it needs to be fixed, but i dk how to fix it, b/c i can't delete it and create a different one, and yet it won't let me modify the advanced settings, they just don't exist.
Does anyone have any idea what i did, or how to undo it or fix it.
Thanks.
