Well - I'm not happy with the new Outlook 365.

My new Outlook 365 has a problem
It is stuck in IMAP mode not POP mode
so it synchronises all my emails & places them on the server at Optus
& it won't go to POP mode
I don't think it can work in POP mode the same way that the old Win Live Mail works.
IMAP mode is greyed out so I can't select another mode.

It means that it sent 1000s of emails to Optus & put them into my account without permission.
When I spent ages deleting them -
it synchronises with my Outlook folder & deleted them there too-
now in the trash can in both online & offline.
I didn't ask it to change my Outlook folders at home -
it synchronises without permission.

I have spent 2 hours searching Microsoft & I can't even identify what
version I've got or how to change it to a POP account.
Is it a home edition or business?
There seems to be differences between the two.
I didn't even know that there were different editions.
It says Microsoft Office 365 Version 16.0.6965.2053

When installing it said that it was transferring my settings - but
IMAP or POP is an enormous change in settings & it didn't keep the POP settings.

Can anyone help me?

cheers
Allan
