One of the most widely used email clients, Windows Mail is included by default with the Windows operating system. Once it has been installed on a Windows computer, the Mail application often functions satisfactorily. Because this default email client in Windows is not downloading any mail onto their computers, some users of Mail can get the idea that this is not the case. To clear this issue, we have come up with a solution to fix Windows Mail not downloading email messages.
1. Change the email sync settings
It is possible that the downloading problem in the Mail client can be resolved by adjusting the settings for email sync.
- In the first step, locate the Mail app on your device and proceed to open it.
- After that, tap the menu that has three lines below it to enlarge it.
- At the bottom, you will find a button labeled “⚙️.”
- Next to the opening of the Mail settings, you will need to select the “Manage accounts” option to open that setting.
- There is a list of email accounts that may be found on the sidebar. You may open the problematic one from there by tapping on it.
- At this point, you will be able to see the settings of this particular email account. To have access to that, tap the “Change mailbox sync settings” button.
- Following this, choose “as items arrive” from the drop-down box for the “Download new content” option you want to use.
- After that, change the “Download email from” setting to “the last 3 months” (you may choose a different time period from the same drop-down menu to download emails from).
- The very last, choose “Save” after turning off all of the settings in the Sync menu.
