Some services, like Google and corporate Exchange servers, offer

                           more than email; they also maintain online calendars and address
                           books. Under “Sync options,” turn on the data types you want to
                           display: Email, Contacts, and/or Calendar.


                           Delete account from this device. Just what it says. “Delete
                           account from the Microsoft Cloud” deletes this account, and its
                           mail, from the internet—including all of your machines.




                Manage Subscriptions

                This link opens a web page where you can view and adjust the settings and
                payments for various Microsoft services: OneDrive storage, Microsoft

                Office subscriptions, Skype phone service, and so on. (Why is it in the Mail
                app?)



                Personalization


                On this pane, Microsoft has built in a raft of cosmetic controls to suit your
                personality and mood. Here you can choose a color scheme for the app, opt
                for the usual dark mode (white on black) or Light mode (black on white)

                designs, adjust the line spacing of your message list, and choose a photo as
                the Mail background. You’ll see that photo in the message-body area when
                your window is wide enough to permit the three-column view, and no

                message is selected.

                Using the Background Browse button, you can choose a photo of your own
                to install here. Maybe a photo of a couch and a remote control, to suggest a

                reward for getting through your email.

                Ordinarily, this wallpaper fills only the space where you usually see the
                message body—when no message is open. But if you turn on “Fill entire

                window” then, by golly, the photo fills the entire program’s window,
                including (in blurry form) the background of the left-side panel where your
                accounts appear.
