Aw Wayne, I'm misting up here. I fondly remember the excitement I felt the day I got a call and the display showed a number!!
Can't find a number for my first phone, but it did indeed come with a cradle, a dinky battery which lasted an hour or two, and a huge one which doubled the weight of the phone.
Anyway, I have news of my phone problems and the solution. Despite scouring the internet, Google, Youtube, phone shops, phone providers and Uncle Tom Cobleigh and all, it became apparent that there was no way of getting my super de luxe all singing, all dancing Windows10 to work satisfactorily with my handsfree.
So, what to change? The radio in the van cost over £200, a lot of effort and a favour to purchase and fit, so I was loath to look at another radio. I didn't want a Iphone ( nor was I sure it would play nicely anyway ) so Android it was. After three shops, a lot of questions and an agonising choice between £100 of highly rated kit and £50 of stuff I wasn't sure of, cost won.
I came home with a Pixi. No, not a small person with a pointy hat, but a phone with a nice big screen. As long as it lasts eighteen months, that's all I ask, cos then I can upgrade to a Sony or Samsung.
But does it work in the van, I hear you cry? Suffice to say that by the time I left the car park I could call or text contacts in my phone simply by talking to the radio. Success!

For the younger viewers - you didn't even have text messaging in those days (and it's not THAT long ago).
My first phone?
Didn't even show the number of the incoming call. It just said **CALL**. A battery lasted half a day (some things don't change
)...it actually came with a charging cradle and spare battery. And yes....you had to whip the aerial up to actually talk on the thing.
Here's mine....
Ring 16 for Dial-a-disc.

I'm using Gmail mostly now... costs £3 a month for a business account but the spam filtering is excellent! I use Thunderbird for my other 4 emails accounts which has a similar feel to live mail.

Click the "+" and it will allow you to create a new folder of your choice. Then, go to the email you want to move, right-click it and select "Move". You can then choose your new folder and this will move your email across.
I'm thinking I've missed something here as the solution is really quite simple and I would have thought you'd have sussed it out, Peter. Maybe I've misunderstood and you're trying to do something different, I'm not sure. Anyway, for a better, more feature-packed email client, you could always just download the free Thunderbird. It's the best email client that I've used for years now.
