Hello,


I recently got a new laptop and I got MS Office 365 on it. I have been using Outlook (one of the programs in MS Office. Never used Outlook Express or any other mini-Outlook programs. I’ve always used the real, complete, desktop program) for many years. With Windows 10, I am so confused. I want just the Outlook desktop program, but I have this weird Windows 10 Mail app that keeps sticking up all the time. Can I get rid of it? I already have Outlook installed and working, but I'm not sure if I need the Windows 10 Mail app?



Or…



Do I have to add my Comcast email to Windows 10 Mail in order for me to use my Comcast email in Outlook (desktop/PC software in MS Office 365)?



If not, can I delete my Comcast email from the Windows 10 Mail app? I don’t know how it got there (maybe by error when I was initially setting up my new laptop)?



If you don’t know what I mean by Windows 10 Mail App, Windows 10 Mail is found this way:

1. Click on START icon

2. Click on COG (Settings) icon in start menu

3. Click on ACCOUNTS icon

4. Click on EMAIL & ACCOUNTS icon on left menu

5. See email account under the heading “Email & accounts” and subheading “Accounts used by email, calendar, and contacts”

6. I see my email account there, but I don’t want to have it there if I don’t have to.



I understand that Windows 10 Mail App used to be “Outlook Express” and I do not want to use that. I want to use the regular, traditional desktop/PC software Outlook (the kind that comes in Office 2010, Office 2013, Office 2016, Office 365, etc.).


In short, I want just one email account to handle. I don't want to handle two.



Thank you.
