Windows 10: Windows 10 Mail 'send error' message

Received the following message when trying to forward email + attachment to several recipients. The attachment is 127MB so not very large. I am unable to amend the email in the Drafts folder. I have tried sending the email to fewer recipients without success.


"We weren't able to send this message, so we've put it in your Drafts folder. Before you try sending it again, you can check to see if the address is correct and that no attachments are too large."

Send To Mail Recipient Issues


At some point in the last couple of weeks the Send To/Mail Recipient function has stopped working. When I select a file and do the send to, Windows starts thinking, the explorer window that I have selected this from stops taking input and then eventually, with no error messages, the explorer window closes and desktop explorer resets.

My Default mail client is Outlook 2013 (15.0.4745.1000)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

 

Cannot send e-mail in Windows 10 mail.

Hi Mark,

This issue might occur due to incorrect email settings. We can try to isolate the issue by simply removing the account and adding it back. If the issue persists, I'll be needing more information to come up with an established resolution. What happens exactly
when trying to send emails? Are you getting any error messages? If so, please send us a screenshot. Are the emails being stuck in Outbox? If so, I suggest removing the emails that got stuck in the Outbox by following these steps:

• Disable your network connection.
• Open the Mail app and go to the Outbox.
• Click the delete icon in the top right for each stuck mail item.
• Enable your connection again.

Let us know how it turns out.

 

0x80c80152 error with Windows 10 mail

Apologies in advance, as I am reporting this error for a family member who I tried to help today, Thanksgiving in the US. So I cannot play around with the program and "try this" or "try that" - just forward credible suggestions to her.

Computer is a Windows 10 machine, uses free AVG for security, and the question is about the "Mail" program - that's what it's called, not Outlook, or Live Mail, but "Mail" - with the blue and white envelope icon.

Her email is a Road Runner address. Spectrum is now the parent company, but the RR addresses still work, and her email on other computers and devices works; just doesn't work with Windows Mail on this computer.

Oddly, I was able to get it to send fine. Usually I find if an email program has a problem, it's on sending and not receiving.

But it won't download anything, and if I click on the "sync" icon, I get a message reading:

Among the things that bother me here:

1. This looks like a pretty routine problem. But I find nothing in this forum, or on the broader web even, to solve it. Anything on the microsoft site, where others have reported similar problems, is responded to with boilerplate pap that doesn't fix the problem.
2. I clearly did something right, since I can send from the account. So why can't I receive?
3. Worst of all, I have never seen an email program so devoid of meaningful configuration as Windows 10 Mail. No "advanced" settings. Nothing about incoming or outgoing email servers POP3 or IMAP, SSL, ports, authentication. All a user is asked about is email address and password. It's hard to troubleshoot what's wrong, when there are so few options as to what to set or tweak.

Appreciate in advance any suggestions. And, again, please make them simple enough to pass on, because I am not using Windows 10 mail; this is for a family member in another city who is.
