  1. Changing password in Windows 10 Mail app


    I have a yahoo account I use in Windows 10.


    Yahoo insisted that I change the password but when I go into the mail app on a different computer to update with new password I don't get an option


    Go into Account and then Settings Manage Accounts but the only thing I can change is the Account name. No access to Pop or IMAP settiongs or password

    :)

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Changing password in Windows 10 Mail app :)

    In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

    • Open powershell as administrator
    • Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
    • Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)
