How to disable autocorrect in Windows 10 Mail?
I have the builtin systemwide Windows 10 autocorrect disabled:
An overwhelming majority of the time I use the US layout for coding, and writing both English and Slovak text. It's considered acceptable to write Slovak without accents/diacritics unless you're writing something at least as formal as a resume, and the Slovak keyboard layout is awful for writing code, so it's usually not worth switching keyboard layouts and having all the punctuation switch places.
This however confuses spellcheckers that use the current keyboard layout to determine the language I'm typing in. I could live with the sea of red squiggles, unfortunately, Windows Mail specifically doesn't seem to honour the systemwide setting, and still autocorrects Slovak words that are spelled similarly to English ones. (I.e. "projekt" to "project".)
Is this a feature of Windows Mail specifically governed by a separate setting hidden somewhere? I'd like to get rid of it since it leaves me the choice of either mangling my text, or mangling years of punctuation muscle memory.

I'm also annoyed that you write if you had not yet found an answer, so Windows 10 Mail application I do not care what is in the settings and has its own. So when composing a new email, put options and in there is spelling. Tick the first option and it should be OK. Although such as small letters on the beginning of a sentence and then corrects me.

@alzaimar this does not work. Even if I activate that option (which does not have to do anything with auto correct anyway) and writeeg. testWindows Mail will still auto correct it toEg. Test. Note that I have also disabled auto correct in the system settings (under Typing).
