Turn On or Turn Off Email Account in Windows 10 Mail app

Windows 10 comes with a new Mail app. The Windows 10 Mail app brings improved performance and a familiar three-pane email UI, with a toggle to quickly move between your email and calendar. Mail includes customizable Swipe Gestures, letting you swipe right or left to take actions like delete, flag, move or mark as read/unread. Also, check out the new email authoring experience.

Mail leverages the familiar and rich capability of Word that allows you to easily insert tables, add pictures, and use bullets and color to your text. The new Windows 10 Mail apps support Office 365, Exchange, Outlook.com, Gmail, IMAP, POP, and other popular accounts.

If you don't want to continue to receive email from a particular account in the Mail app for Windows 10, you can either delete the account and remove it from the app, or you can turn off email for that account. Deleting or removing an account from either app will also remove any calendar associated with that account. Turning off will only temporarily remove the account from the app until the email is turned back on for the account.

Here we are going to show you how to turn on or off to receive email for an account in Windows 10 Mail App.
