Windows 8 ‘Mai’

Hello, I have a new HP with a program called 'Mail' in the tiles. I am using it with my Windows Mail account. Why is there no tools bar or any other options at the top of it such as there are when I used Windows Mail in my old pc, with Outlook I believe? I need the tools options/bar because I often write in either French or English and do not want to have to come out of Mail and change the entire language settings on my PC JUST to do an email spellcheck in one of the two languages! I have read the forums here and have NO idea t what anyone is referring, I have no 'accounts' no 'settings' or anything else at the top of the page. I can only get limited options specific to the tile, program or highlighted message on a blue pop-across bar below when right clicking anything. Ctl M does nothing either! HELP!!!
