Windows 10 comes with a built-in app designed to synchronize your mail accounts with it – Windows Mail.
The app is basically a webmail system in which you cannot set any mail rules but, of course, you get the features to work by going on the mail server (which you can access via a browser) and set the features from there.
Either you have a Hotmail, an Outlook or a Yahoo! account you can pretty much synchronize all of these with your Windows mail app.
The one big problem with the Windows Mail app is that some users are not able to view all their emails at all or they can only view the first 30.
In a couple of rows below, I will explain what we can do to fix your issue with emails not showing up in the Windows Mail app.
How can I see all my emails in the Windows Mail App?
- Try a mail client app
- Perform a clean boot
- Remove all accounts
- Reinstall the app
1. Try a mail client app
We recommend that you use a third-party mail client app. They have many interesting incorporated features, including centralizing multiple mail addresses, classification, alerts, and other useful options.
Mailbird is such a client and one of the most popular on the market at this moment.
It works similarly to Windows Mail, allowing users to manage their emails from a single, unified console, but with the full features of an email account.
That is, by using Mailbird, you can customize the Inbox layout, prioritize emails, choose custom notification sounds. Plus, the tool has many handy integrations with other apps like Google Calendar, Twitter, or Asana.
