Windows 10: Setting up Folderds in Windows 10 Mail

I am reposting this query as my last attempt was not satisfied.



A few days ago I ran into a problem where Windows 10 would not start up and I was unable to reload Windows 10 onto my hard drive.



To cut a long story short I decided to replace the drive with an SSD which I purchased recently. I then downloaded the latest version of Windows 10 and commenced reloading all my programs (I am still doing this)



When I got to setting up the Mail App I had a problem of setting up folders.



On the previous Windows 10 I was using Outlook where setting up folders was a piece of cake.



I have three email accounts which on setting up I retrieved all my email. Fine.



One is Gmail which I now rarely use, but with this account I see I can set folders as there is a + sign next to All Folders.



The second is an internet account with BT as BT is my broadband provider.



The third is in internet account of my own domain; which is the one I always use.


I cannot set folders with these internet accounts; something I could do with Outlook



This is my problem.


As I only downloaded Windows 10 a couple of days ago I cannot think there is a problem with the App.


Does this facility not exist with the latest version of Mail?

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)

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
