  1. mail app


    I am using Mail App, People App and Calendar App on my Microsoft Windows Home Edition 20H2 OS.
    In Mail I have 3 accounts: an Outlook.com account, an iCloud.com account and a local provider account: Telenet.be
    all works fine in Mail App but in People App and Calendar App when I open settings (gear icon) I only see 2 accounts (Outlook.com and iCloud.com); adding a third account leads to error: 0x80004005
    Can anyone help me with that problem please?

    another additional question: in the settings of my telenet.be account I see (automatically added with the creation of the mail account)
    for incoming email server: imap.telenet.be:993:1
    for outgoing email server: smtp.telenet.be:587:0

    I think the numbers 993 an 587 are port numbers but I have no idea (nor can't find) what the numbers 1 and 0 mean.
    Has someone an explanation please?

    thanks in advance, gabril

    :)

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. mail app :)

    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!

    mail app

    Cannot open mail app settings


    OK, my next suggestion was going to be uninstalling Mail and Calendar and reinstalling from the Windows Store. You can have a go at this by following these steps.

    1. Open the Start menu, type Windows PowerShell.
    2. Right click on the Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
    3. Enter the below command to remove the Mail and calendar app.

    get-appxpackage *microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps* | remove-appxpackage

    After performing the above steps, install the Mail and calendar app from the Windows Store.

    Hope this helps, you will, of course, have to add you accounts back again.
