Mail won't add E-Mail
I am going to try and be as brief but informative as I can.
I have an InsightBB email account and yes I am aware that Insight was bought by Time Warner Cable who has now turned into Spectrum but the Email address still works. Here is what is going on. About 2 weeks ago I had to reinstall Windows and I had that email working properly under the W10 Mail app.
I made the mistake of not looking at the settings of which I had. So I reinstalled Windows and tried to re-add the email but failed time after time again. I have this email working on my iPhone just fine. Also I still have Windows Live Mail which while I know it's old still works fantastically. Which I think is sad that a program from 2008/2009 works better than the W10 Modern Mail app. Long story short the email works. I am getting mail in Windows Live Mail (2012) as we speak.
For this post I will provide a sample(Fake) email and password to get the point across. Again these are fake credentials
E-Mail: mymail@insightbb.com
Password: mypassword1
Incoming Mail Server: mail.insightbb.com Port:995
Outgoing Mail Server: mail.insightbb.com Port:465(This is what Google Tells me) (WindowsLiveMail says 25) (iPhone doesn't display outgoing)
So I put all of this into Windows Live Mail and BAM instant emails. The Windows 10 Mail App doesn't have a section to add server ports but I guess it tries to do this automatically? Either way I put this into it and nothing at ALL happens. I've tried different combinations of ports and what not but I get didly-squat.
And yes I am 100% sure of what my credentials are no doubt in the world. I contacted the Support Team with the new Live Agent tool but in a nut shell they didn't know what to do but understood my issue and referred me to a paid support package that includes Remote Desktop Assistance which is 99-150$ That's too much so maybe I can get some help here.
I would also like to add I added my GMAIL to the Windows 10 Mail app and that works perfectly. So it's accepting emails but I am having issues with mine.
There were no updates from the day I reinstalled Windows until now. Something else is going on, I know W10 Mail app got an update maybe it broke something?
