    Adding accounts to mail for windows 10


    Hi,
    I tried to add additional mail accounts (Settings>Manage accounts>Add accounts) but the pop-up doesn't show, and hence unable to proceed and add new accounts. Tried uninstalling and re-installing but it still didn't work. Is there another way to add the accounts?


    Thank you.


    HL

    :)

  3. Unable to delete the initially added account in Mail app on Windows 10.

    Hello Thesstral,



    Thanks for the update on the above issue.



    The first account added to the Mail app would have converted your user account to a
    Microsoft account. Since the mail account added initially is now in sync with the user account, delete option will not be available.



    I suggest you to convert the user account to the Local account by following the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.



    Step 1: To convert the Microsoft user account to Local user account follow the steps below:



    • Sign in into your Microsoft user account on Windows 10.
    • Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type Settings and select the top most search result.
    • Click Accounts and under Your emails and accounts
      click on sign in with a local account instead option.
    • Enter your Microsoft account's password and click on Next.
    • Type in the Password and
      Password Hint that you want set for your local account and click
      Next. Click on Sign out and Finish button.
    • Restart/Shutdown the PC.
    • Go to Mail app and delete both the added accounts and check if the action performed is successful.
    • Now add/configure the account with appropriate settings and check if the changes are effective.


    Step 2: To convert the Local user account to Microsoft user account follow the steps below:



    • On the newly converted Local account, press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type
      Settings and select the top most search result.
    • Click Accounts and under Your emails and accounts click on
      sign in with a microsoft account instead option.
    • Enter the Microsoft account ID and Password and click Sign in.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions and check if the changes are effective.


    Write to us with the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



    Thank you.

    Adding accounts to mail for windows 10

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown Adding accounts to mail for windows 10 :(
