Windows 10: Trying to add Google mail to Mail and get error 0x80040154

I'm trying to add a google account to Mail and when I choose Google I get the message,

'something went wrong error 0x80040154'

Has anyone had any success getting this feature to work? Or has anyone else found a way to solve this error?

Since posting this I did read a suggestion about adding it under IMAP/POP option instead of choosing add GMAIL. I tried this but since my Gmail has secure settings the test email was blocked. There is an option in Gmail setting to make the account less secure, but I don't want to do this.

Error code "0x80040154", when I try to add an account to mail app.

When I try to add an account to mail I get error code "0x80040154".

 

Windows 10 mail and calendar accounts vanished.

My Windows 10 mail and calendar accounts (live mail and Google) vanished and if I try to manually add them, I get various error messages of 0x800705e, or 0x80040154, or 0x8007054e. I cannot find a troubleshooter nor can I find a system restore point. It
was working since my install of 2(?) weeks ago.

 

I did a clean install of Windows 10 and I will probably not try again anyway. No error when I opened it.
