windows 10 account sync error 0x80070490

I have a problem on the listed devices!

Lumia 950 (no windows insider) 10586.164 windows 10

Lumia 1020 windows 8.1 last update

Lumia 925 windows 8.1 last update

Lumia 820 windows 8.1 last update

I've done all and the problems still exists;

-synchronized outlook (settings, email+ac... ) error 0x80070490

-soft reset error 0x80070490

-remove the battery (not on lumia 1020 and 925) error 0x80070490

-I did a hard reset, and afther all good (apps, mails...), contacts sync error 0x80070490

So, last hope is WDRT (windows device recovery tool), ok! I tried that, with all my devices, and start from beginning... region, user mail, password... on all my lumias!!! Synchrnized all... apps, mails.. but contacts still have same error code 0x80070490.

So, this is all about you MS!!!

Error code 0x80070490 when reinstalling windows 10 mail

After finally getting Windows 10 Mail and Calendar to work (for a few months at least), it stopped working again earlier this week. It wouldn't even open! After over 2 hours with Microsoft support their solution was to create a new user and copy all my
files over. This is something I'd rather not do (just as a last resort). When I had problems originally last summer (when first upgrading to Windows 10) the solution that worked for me was to uninstall the Mail and Calendar app & then reinstall it. So I
tried again. I uninstalled the app (using commands from within the Powershell as administrator), rebooted, then tried to install the app again from the app store. It downloaded and started installing then stopped just before finishing with an error code
0x80070490. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Update: I have since tried to install another app...same error message. I have done all the suggested steps to repair this error code, but still can't install any apps. HELP!!!
