Windows 10: I have the same question about Windows 10 Mail app that seems to be plaguing so many other...

I can't get my contacts in 'People' to work with the Mail app in Windows 10.


I see the same reply to every person who complains about how hamstrung the Windows 10 mail app is. I followed the instruction and did get my CSV file imported into 'People', and the contacts do show up there ...however there appears to be no link between 'People' and the Mail App which would allow me to make use of my contacts information. So what good is it??


What is wrong with this and why does it take MS so long to address a problem like it that is bothering so many people? Perhaps Bill should direct some of his billions into hiring enough people to answer these issues. I'm a totally frustrated Windows 10 user. I avoided going over from 7 to 10 as long as I could but now I was forced kicking and screaming and had to make the move and I hate it. This OS seems to have had focused most of energies that went into it aimed at silly trinkets and window dressing rather than fixing some of the few serious issues that we users had with Windows 7. In their effort to enhance security, they have made their OS nearly impossible to use.


10 is incredibly invasive and backward. Most things that worked well in 7 now no longer work or they work in an entirely new and convoluted fashion. This is called product improvement??

Mail app will not open on 10041.


Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

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)

 

Mail app will not open on 10041.

Hey Shawn,
I did that to no avail, then I ran WSReset.exe; now I'm good on all 3, Mail, Calendar and People! *Confused
Go figure!
