Windows 10: Is the Mail app just buggy?

Is the Mail app just buggy?

No. These are the same apps that have always ran in 8.1. I can attest that there's hardly any problems with them there. Really no more than a desktop app that can be rendered fixed easily as you have seen.

This is an early build of an OS. It's the thing that's buggy. Let's give blame where blame is due.

 

Thanks for telling me that my Windows 10 mail app should work perfectly because its just like the one in Windows 8. But somehow that's not reassuring since at least once a day it will not open, and some days it won't open at all. So I'm gonna stop marking this thread Solved since as soon as I get it fixed it breaks again.

Did you have any suggestions on how to help on this? *Rolleyes

 

Thanks for telling me that my Windows 10 mail app should work perfectly because its just like the one in Windows 8. Never said your Mail app should work “perfectly”. Please don’t exaggerate.

You set the tone of your thread in your OP that echoes through it. A tone of frustration and rather biased opinion towards the Modern Store apps. Somewhat like being above them to use them.

OK. Do as you may. Most likely you can finally mark it solved when they release a stable build, for it isn’t the app that’s the problem as I’ve attempted to convey. It’s the OS that's buggy. Can you not comprehend that?

Insanity is performing something over and over again expecting different results when in fact they are the same results. You can run the Store Mail and/or other faulting apps, whether Modern Store or desktop, until your blue in the face. Until there’s a stable build released to support them you can expect them to falter.

Yes:

a) Don’t use the app or any other faulting app until there’s a stable build.

b)

c) https://www.tenforums.com/general-dis...tml#post167470 In the light of that, I suggest dual booting with a proven 8.1 to use a stable OS so to use the app(s). It’s not a good idea to use an unstable early build as suggested by MS:

 

What tone did I set exactly when I said I was giving each Modern App a fair trial, which is more than the vast majority of consumers will do? I hope to be able to recommend some of these apps to help sway consumers to them, hardly the dark motives you ascribe to me.

Shawn has already told us that he has these same mail problems in Windows 8. Direct your Windows 8 fealty enforcement to him. I was out of WIndows 8 before I ever got in.

Do not describe mental illness to one who is a survivor of advanced stage PTSD which has a 50% suicide rate. In fact do not ever lecture me about anything, at any time. I am here to help people only, and not interested in making everything a confrontation with the self-appointed enforcers of Windows 8. I am focused on the most successful OS in history, and helping to see that this one follows in its footsteps.

 

Your giving apps more of a tour than I did/ am *Smile
I use email like I have always used it,
A website with all of my junk email I go to via a browser works as expected,
This has and or shouldn't matter which iso is being used :/

Pretty weird about the corrupted store though ?
What apps have you added from it ?

 

None that I can think of. *Think

I like having all 3 of my mailboxes in one GUI that I can access without having to juggle ID's for my two Outlooks or deal with Yahoo buggyness.

However at least once and sometimes twice a day this potential great convenience won't open, so I reboot and it works. I consider this bug the price of using a pre-beta OS. They can't leave it this way for RTM.

It's nice having friendlies around here, Mike. I'm really hoping for a great successor to Seven in due time, both the OS and Forums. I haven't been back to Windows 7 OS for 2 1/2 months! *Huh

 

Hi,
Yea it could have something to do with the multiple accounts connected to the mail app
Not sure how many @Brink has connected since he's seeing the same issue just not the corrupted store issue :/
2-1/2 months is too long you must go back to 7 *Tongue and see if everything is hunky dory with mail there *Wink
outlook.com/ Microsoft servers are buggy enough then you get to the 10TP bugs *Smile
Cheers.

 

I never bothered with Windows Mail. I don't think many others did either because I can count on one hand the times I've been asked about it in Seven reinstalls. I think taking it out of the OS broke its continuity with migrating Users.

 

As I remember it was the messenger bit that was missed the most,
Microsoft convoluted it so much it was a joke
Myself included just chose the most viable and reliable messenger service which is mobile alerts it always worked no matter which device or email service for some unknown reason,
I base mine on iphones reliability though the darn thing just works *Tongue

Computer stuff was secondary and treated as such/ login and do your business if mobile wasn't appropriate for a doc...*Smile
