Hotmail or Outlook.com work OK but

BTInternet

Yahoo

will not sync

I have two machines running windows 10

on 1 My mail app opens for about 5 seconds and then crashes

Hi - I got the same message as above, perhaps I am not typing the command correctly? Are there spaces required between each part of the command?

Thanks
