OT: Windows 10 mail woes (SOLVED)

LeatherGryphon

Is it just me or does the Windows10 native Mail application suck royal swamp water?

I'm trying to set up a Home version Windows10 user account using a mail address of [email protected]  (it's a TimeWarnerCable/Spectrum mail address) it works fine if I log onto the company's mail website but I can't get the Win10 "Mail" application to access the account.   I can send through the account but it comes to the destination with a "from" address of some long gobbledy-gook name.  But mail that I send to the "SomeName..." address is never downloaded into the Win10 mail app.  What do I not understand?

SOLVED:

I don't know why, and I guess I don't understand, but the original computer login account was established with [email protected] as a Microsoft account and mail connections were all boogered up and I had no options visible to customize them.  However, then I deleted the email count from "Mail", then I converted the computer login account to a "Local" account instead of a "Microsoft" account and then generated a new Mail account (still as [email protected]) but now I configuration dialog showed advanced options and the ability to customize the server addresses, port numbers, and SSL settings appropriately.  The system had guessed most of them correctly but I added SSL to the SMTP-outgoing to make things completely proper.  Mail is now working like a charm. 

PS: it wasn't just the SSL setting that was originally wrong.  The original problen was that I had no way of seeing mail server addresses, port numbers, etc, the options just weren't there.  I don't know what they were set to, but they didn't seem to  be completely functional.  But after changing the user account to be a "Local" account and re-establishing the Mail account, the mail was being received and sent properly but  TimeWarner/Spectrum recommends that outgoing mail be protected with SSL also, so I changed that parameter too.  Computers!  Bah, Humbug!
