How to install missing Mail app packages on Windows 10

If you’re experience problems trying to sync emails, or you can no longer add new accounts after upgrading to the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, it could be a problem with missing Feature on Demand packages.

This is a known issue and Microsoft recommends the following workaround:

1. 
   Open Start.
   
   
2. 
   Search for Command Prompt, right-click the result and click Run as administrator.
   
   
3. 
   Type the following command and press Enter:
   
   dism /online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:OneCoreUAP.OneSync~~~~0.0.1.0
4. 
   Restart your device.
   
   
5. 
   Open Mail
   
   
6. 
   Click the gear button in the bottom-left corner to open the Mail settings.
   
   
7. 
   Click on Manage Accounts, and see if the Account settings are there, which indicates that the packages has been added successfully.
   

Again no luck. Please help.

Mail app will not open on 10041.


Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. *Smile

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!

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.
