Windows 10: Trouble with Windows 10 mail app

Windows 10.0.19042 build 19042 but had this problem ever since I got my new computer 2 weeks ago.
I have 2 email accounts so I like the Windows 10 mail app. My trouble lately is that my gmail account says could not access the account you may need to update password. My password is 11 characters long but when I go to fix my account it is showing 16 dots for my password. How do I fix this? When I try to retype my password it does not save because I still get the same error message and the same problem when I go to fix account. I even deleted the account and re added the account and the same thing happened.

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!
