I suggest you create a new account for the same email manually and set it to POP from the very beginning. Once you are happy with it, you can remove the IMAP version.

Thanks,
There is another way that I thought:
I could just put 95% of my In box & Sent items in other new folders at home.
It seems that only the: In box, sent items & trash synchronise.
It would probably be OK then?
At least there wouldn't be 1000s of personal emails stored in the cloud.
It literally went & stored gigabytes of my email files without permission.

Why the hell don't Microsoft give you a warning of what is going to happen before you install their stupid software?
That was an outrageous breach of security & it's their fault.
