  1. Mail app not working


    On adding accounts to windows mail app. The app is crashing and shutting down or showing error 0x80004005


    Details


    After the cumulative update of windows 10 version 1803 (KB4343909), my windows mail app stopped syncing. I tried terminating and removing accounts from the mail app, but the app was crashing and shutting down. Then i resetted the mail app but after which i am not able to add any account. Either it is shuting down or showing error code 0x80004005.


    I tried

    1) Uninstalling and reinstalling the app using powershell

    2)Reset and terminate

    3) Waited for another cumilative windows update and mail update. Yet it is not resolved

    4) A common suggestion found was to rename the comms folder in user/appdata/local folder. After restarting a new comms folder would be made by windows and mail would start. But when i renamed/moved comms folder, no new comms folder is being generated by mail app/windows. why? i don't know.


    Any help please, as i use mail app regularly for my work.


    Thank you

    Mail app will not open on 10041.


    Hello Adam,

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

    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)

    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!
