Windows 10: I need to know how to associate gmail to my One Note files in order to mail or share them....

For pretty much all the time I have been using a computer for anything, get a new computer and you plug it in and walla, fire off emails starting right then and you did not have to do anything to associate this email program or anything else. Times have changed and now this new Windows 10 is not set up like the old Windows programs were before. Can you help me with this association? I don't know where to start, and being pretty unfamiliar with parts of a computer and especially programs to use, I would rather not even have to do this, but Rural America may be a quiet, gentle place to live, but Computer Specialists are not on every street corner.

If you need more information from me and there is a way to identify yourself to me so I will know you are actually who you are, I would really appreciate any/all assistance you are willing to help me with. Yes, it is overwhelming for me and I am scared to death that I will mess up something that cannot be undone.

I used to be rather comfortable with the workings of a computer, but Windows 10 changed that like a train wreck.


Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.

The subject is not quite as general as the list made it, but I did not find anything that let me select email. But that is indeed what I want to do is help setting an association for my gmail program to be my main email program on this computer. Thanks

Gmail - Getting mails not exactly sent to me

No one else is getting anyone's mail because of this... It is NOT a bug.
It is intentional. All those addresses belong to you, no matter where the dot.

Quoted from GMail help:

Test it... send yourself an email with no dot in your name.

 

Windows 10 Mail forgets Gmail password almost every day

Reason

Windows Mail app keeps prompting for Gmail account password frequently with the "your gmail settings are out of date" message—

Potential Solutions

Based on some quick research there may be two options that may help resolve this. . .

1. Enable the 2-Step Verification functionality and security feature with your Gmail account and then use the 2-Step Verification to verify and trust the Windows Mail app to have access to your Gmail account
   
2. Enable and use the Less Secure Apps functionality by turning that ON and using your usual Gmail account password with the Windows Mail app to authenticate
