Windows 10/11 Mail not showing all emails

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.

Whether 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.
