Do you mean the Outlook email program in the Office suite? Edge is the browser, not an email program.
I'm heading to bed, but what I'm finding is that the MSN email program is so old, it may no longer work. I have a full day tomorrow, so hopefully Jenny can help you.
I use several Outlook.com email addresses in addition to two Gmail email addresses and have no problems with them at all.

I agree. I use that feature in my ancient old Windows Live Mail email program too. Sometimes I have to actually open the email first to be able to see the whole address. Of course, you don't click on anything, but then you can see it.
I would definitely NOT use a free app though... chances are it would be full of ads... or worse.

I use Thunderbird too and checked mine and sure enough, I could see an entire email address in there too by hovering over it.

I can see the whole address once I've clicked on the email but then the email is already open which I would be trying to avoid. Is that a bad thing? I thought you shouldn't open these emails at all but maybe it's just don't click anywhere in the email?
Can you point me to the correct place for Thunderbird so I can take a look at it please? I see thunderbird.net and also see it under mozilla.
I really do like my old MSN. I think I need to call to see if I can use it on Win 10.
Thanks!

I thought you shouldn't open these emails at all but maybe it's just don't click anywhere in the email? Don't open an email unless you know where it's from. There are some emails that are made to automatically infect your computer as soon as you open them. Even though there may be ways to configure email programs to prevent this, the default settings are to automatically infect the user and then blame them for opening the infected email. Can you point me to the correct place for Thunderbird so I can take a look at it please? I see thunderbird.net and also see it under mozilla. You can get Thunderbird from https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/There are optional add-ons you can add to it the way you can add add-ons to Firefox. I really do like my old MSN. I think I need to call to see if I can use it on Win 10.
I'm not familiar with the MSN email client and can't help with it.

Thanks Jenny!
Do you set it up as IMAP, POP3, or Exchange? Are there going to be other things I won't know the answer to? If the Exchange, do I install that Owl add-on?

Thanks.
Well, I don't know exactly what I did but that window asking for that choice got closed and I clicked on "get mail" and all my mail downloaded. The look of the program is much more like my MSN program, however, the full email addresses are not showing.

I have a "correspondents" column, but the email addresses don't show. To see them, I have to open up the email.

Jenny, I found where it said to fix this but it didn't work. I'm not sure what I did wrong of course, but I closed the email and then reopened it and clicked on "inbox". When I do that or when I click on an email to read it, a tab opens up for Microsoft Outlook with options to sign in or try premium.
Oh, and when I close that window, at the bottom of the Thunderbird screen it says "authentication window was closed to early".
Oh well. I was able to delete a good number of messages easily. I can't seem to find an easy way in Outlook to delete a lot of items. I can only do it one at a time.

I use Outlook and to delete several emails at once, highlight the top email of the group - and then whilst holding down the shift key, highlight the bottom email of the group. [All the emails in the group should then be highlighted.] Then just hit delete.

That's the way I do it in Thunderbird and in Windows Live Mail too.

Actually, yes, I think it works that way in the regular Outlook but not in Outlook 2019. It is still easier though in MSN. (Whine, whine)
Well shoot. I can see the whole email address in the regular Outlook program also; just not in the paid Outlook programs. I didn't realize that.

You would have had to go into the account setup to enter the POP3 settings for your internet service provider.
