Windows 10: Setting up mail problems

How do I transfer my non mainstream email server and received emails from another computer?

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)

 

e mail won't set up

Hi Betty,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

1) What is the exact error it displays while configuring the account?

I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• • 
    First click on Mail app from the Start Screen or search it from Start Search for opening mail app. Once the mail app is open.
    
  • 
    Click on Settings.
    
  • 
    Now click on Accounts from the settings box so came.
    
  • 
    After clicking on Accounts you’ll see currently configured accounts and option to
    Add new accounts. Choose Add an account.
    
  • 
    Now choose any one option from it. Like for example we are choosing Google for configuring Gmail. You can see more options like Yahoo, Exchange, AOL and other account for configuring.
    
  • 
    It’s time to enter the credentials for the Gmail account you want to configure. So enter your username and password for the same.
    
  • 
    Accept the terms and conditions from the account in the system.
    
  • 
    Choose Yes on next step where Windows will save your Sign-in info so that you don’t have to enter the credentials again and again.
    
  • 
    It’s all done now.
    

Hope this helps. Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

Thanks.

 

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.
