Anyone use Hotmail or Outlook e-mail?
The program is constantly trying to check for new messages. It interferes with other things.
Is there a setting whereby I can have it check for new messages every "x" number of minutes?

Starting the last few days when I logged into Hotmail it went to the Outlook look.
There is still no send / receive tab for settings anywhere in any of the dozens of settings.
I clicked on help to try to see what version and now the small window that opened with zero helpful info won't close and is covering up 25% of my screen.

Download Mail and Calendar app below if you are on Windows 10.

Webmail does not have the feature you want.

The sure RUINED Hotmail by making it Outlook.com
Message rules do not work if you can find it.
I click OK below and it tells me I have not chosen "received from" when I have.
Outlook is a very poor substitute for Hotmail.

You have to select people that the email was received from which when clicked will bring up your contacts, you can either select one or many or even manually type in the email address

Thanks I look into that. I posted a message on a Microsoft website and many other people are also having trouble blocking the "sender." I have 5 junk e-mails from Valerie. I'd like to block her 5. And do the same for dozens of others names as they arrive.

David we enter a name "Debt Doctor" click ok and then ok again and it says we still have to choose from "it was received from." when we already entered Debt Doctor. No results.
Worse than yahoo mail.
Bring back Hotmail.......fancy does not always make it easier to use....

The debt doctor is just like the other 396.
All 398 of them are many many numbers and letters @ many many letters numbers.
We'd have to add 199 new rules just for these 199 sets of two.
We blocked all 398 at 16 per time which is the limit. We right click on Debt Doctor and got options but no luck on that.
We look at the header and it gave some IP address 185. etc.
The header is just full of nonsense that might take 3 pages of Word to copy paste, maybe more than 3 pages.
We do not know what innocent website opened this daily flood of junk from e-mail addresses that never end.
It seems they are come in pairs. Two Debt Doctor, Two others, two others.
How many years before these people give up? Never maybe.

click on the "Menu" button (or press the equivalent Alt+M keyboard shortcut).
Click on the menu button in Windows Live Mail
Then, click on "Options" and Windows Live Mail will open its settings.
The "General" tab should be automatically selected (if not, click on it).
Look at the "Send / Receive Messages" options near the middle; they include a checkbox labeled "Check for new messages every [x] minute(s)", which shows a counter text field on the same line. This counter has a default value of "30", meaning that Windows Live Mail will by default check for new emails on the server every half-hour.
