I have an email account (gmail.com) which I share with one other person. I check the emails via Thunderbird on a Windows 8 pc and also via an Android phone. Until recently the other person used only Outlook 2007 on a Windows 10 pc. Everything seemed fine and we both saw all the emails. A few...

I don't know if this is really a Windows problem, but it seems to be the only common element. It is on my wife's computer and I am not there when the problems arise. She mainly used Edge but some sites only work with Chrome so that is used sometimes. Recently (possibly just after a Windows...
