Windows 10: Microsoft Mail

I have Microsoft Mail, NOT Outlook. Recently, when I am composing a new email, if I leave Mail to go to another app, when I return to Mail, my composition has disappeared. It is not in Drafts, Archive, Sent, Deleted Items. It is just gone, and I have to start all over again. Does anyone have a fix for that?

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!

Hello AnneGuelker,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I would suggest you with few simple troubleshooting steps. Kindly follow the below.

1. May I know how many accounts are configured in the Mail App?
   

Method 1: Try to run the PowerShell command and check if it helps.

• Open the Task manager (Press
  CTRL+Shift+ESC).
  
• Click File > Run New Task.
  
• Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”.
  
• Type PowerShell.
  
• Type the following in the PowerShell prompt:
  

$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml’; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest

• Close the PowerShell window
  
• Reboot the computer.
  

-> Also check the junk mail to see if there are any emails.

Hope it helps.
