Windows 10: Error code: 0x80070490 when trying to install gmail account

Error code: 0x80070490 I have tried several times to add my gmail account to Mail and Calendar on Windows 10. I keep getting this error code. And the Mail app will not add the account. I have already tried resetting the app. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the app to no avail. Please advise.

Mail Error Code:0x80072745 (trying to sync a gmail account)

Okay

Windows ten user forever. Did the Anniversary Update. This caused about 1/2 my apps and programs to stop working correctly. Followed the (way too many) instructions at the Microsoft site. Killed the system to the point where I wiped the drive, reinstalled the original, did the Anniversary update BEFORE anything else. All is good...except for the Gmail account, which throws this error when I try to sync the account:

Something went wrong (no s**t!)
We're having a problem downloading messages. Make sure you have a connection (yes, I do) and your account info is correct (yes), and then try again (like 30 times or so).

Error code: 0x80072745

I know, just use Gmail...but I'm too damned stubborn for that (which is why I had to reload my entire OS in the first place).

Any suggestions (other than what I just said) would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for reading!!!

Hmmm...Don't believe that I do, but thank you...I really appreciate the response. I will verify that I do not have the two step. One thing I failed to mention (sorry) was that the gmail account DID work prior to the AU being installed...I guess I should have known better...LOL

Thanks Again!

My Best,

Gmail error code

Same problem here. All Gmail contacts disappeared sometime this morning (4/2). The problem happened both on a Lumia 920 and a Lumia 520.

Error code: 801901FS

Steps tried so far:

• Tried to re-sync the account. No success.
• I have tried deleting the account on the 520 and setting it up again. No success.
  
• There was a suggestion on another thread that this may have to do with the pictures in the Gmaill contacts, so I also exported and re-imported the contacts on Gmail. No success.
  

For what its worth, my work Office 365 email briefly had trouble syncing as well. Not sure if it is related or was caused by all the things I was trying.

If this is due to the http/https issue, I do hope that MS will push a quick fix.
