Windows 10: Mail app stopped working in WIndows 10 lenovo laptop

Hi all, i found this forum to ask for you kind help. My mail app on Lenovo with Windows 10 suddenly stopped working. It wouldnt show any accounts, and after googling the solution, i went into Settings and them Mail and Calendar and reset it. It didnt work, so i uninstalled and then reinstalled it. Now i can find Mail when i click Start, it shows for a few seconds, with a phrase - Add the account. And then disappears. Everything else seem to work fine on the laptop. Please, maybe someone can advice me whats happening with my mail and how to get it working!

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!

Windows 10 Mail has stopped working

Hi Tony,


I am sorry to know that you are facing issues with accessing your emails.

From the above description, I understand, you can get into your Outlook.com account and access your emails in web based interface Outlook.com

• As you mentioned, "My Windows 10 Mail has stopped working", do you mean Windows 10 Mail App?

• 
  Do you see any error message?
  
• 
  The account you are facing issues with, is that the only and primary account configured in Windows 10 Mail App or it is an additional account?
  

If additional account, then I suggest
remove the account and reconfigure it, and check the behavior. This doesn’t delete the original account or messages—you’ll still be able to get to them through a browser.

I suggest you to try the steps provided in the link below and check.

I also suggest you to go to People.Live.com
and check if you are able to access your contacts from web based interface.
