    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!!!

    Do you have two step authentication on your gmail account? If so then the email account may require an app specific password.

    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.
