Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade
OK this is the latest, I did a system restore to an earlier time when I knew it was working ok, well it did not work still had the same problems.
I realised Windows Live Mail was on the apps and had used that in Vista and it was good
So I have got Windows Live Mail and it works but and it seems there is always a but in mail programmes I cannot put messages into folders get the message it cannot do that - really!!! So I am missing something did not want to do too much as at least I have got Email sending and receiving now so that is good. Hopefully somebody knows what is happening.🤓
........... realised Windows Live Mail was on the apps .................
Windows Live Mail cannot be on the apps list unless you have installed it from Windows Essentials.

The built-in app you found in All apps is called Mail. It is NOTHING close to the same class as Windows Live Mail.
Perhaps you are mistaken or I have misunderstood what you said ?

Yes I installed it from Essentials and it works but with some problems such as I cannot put my mail into folders as I get the message that the Imap server will not allow it, anything I can do about that?
Thanks for your help I think I have sorted it just clicked Imap folders and all seemed to work, at the moment.
