  1. Get error code 0x80004005 when trying to setup mail accounts in Windows 10 mail app


    Hi,


    I am trying to set up multiple email accounts in my Mail app on windows 10. Fresh clean install, brand new computer, all updates applied. The first two email addresses set up fine, the others give me the error code 0x80004005. When I click to add new email and select hotmail/outlook they automatically come up as the email addresses are all linked to my main windows email and part of my family sharing, I enter the password and it looks set up but then the error pops up and the accounts do not appear on the left hand side bar with the first two emails.

    The two email addresses I have set up already are my hotmail which windows is linked to and a bigpond account. The emails that I am trying to add are all hotmail addresses but none of them work. I have 4 to add. Hubby and kids.

    Please help.

    :)

    Get error code 0x80004005 when trying to setup mail accounts in Windows 10 mail app

    I'm trying to add a mail account to the windows 10 mail app. When I try to add my outlook account a pop up shows that its creating account with little dots following and then I get a popup saying that something went wrong and I get the error code 0x80004005.
    I also tried to add a yahoo account and it prompted me to login to the account and then once i completed answering everything I got the same error of something went wrong and error code 0x80004005. I ran the troubleshooter for the mail app and nothing changed.

    error 0x8007042b when adding a Yahoo Mail account to MS Mail App

    I went this route and added passwords for yahoo mail. I might try this method above to get gmail to buck up! *Tongue

    @Bastet, this is probably what you were referring to the whole time.


    YAHOO MAIL FIX
    2FA needs to be enabled which it already was and just follow these steps below.

    1. In yahoo mails account security, click on manage app passwords.

    Fully functional mail app again.



    GMAIL FIX

    Now similar steps to setting up Gmail. Here I'll only go through the Gmail steps as Windows Mail App setup is the exact same.

    Follow this jpeg below, all steps are merged as there's a 5 attachment limit.
