    Unable to add any accounts in Mail and Calendar Apps


    I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on a Sony VAIO laptop. I'm working through some issues but the one that is really annoying me is the inability to add any accounts to the Mail and Calendar apps. I have tried adding my Microsoft account as well as Exchange and other types of accounts. No matter what I do, I get the "Something went wrong" error message. Is anyone else having this problem, and is there a solution? Thanks.

    :)

    W10 Calendar Synching

    Hey Felix, the mail, calendar and people apps are synced service from your online accounts. Add them in mail, calendar or people app settings.

    So for example if you have any Outlook account for Microsoft account, set up your calendar, mail and contacts on it, add it to Mail in Manage Account settings and it will include your Calendar and Contacts (People) in those apps.

    You can also any other Mail, calendar or Contacts you have in online or Office accounts and these will sync to those apps as you choose.

    mail/agenda: no accounts

    I do not have any account in my mail/calendar app. Because off a errorcode, something like x8007004, it would not sync. So I tried to remove and add my account. but by pushing "+" I did not get a list or a field to conect an account to mail/calendar app.
    One button was accesable: Close.

    How do I reconnect my account to de mail/calendar-app?

    Unable to add any accounts in Mail and Calendar Apps

    Hi StrayKatt,
    Like you I've just upgraded from Win 7.
    I currently use Outlook 2013 and sync with Gmail so I thought I'd have a look at the built in Win 10 apps. I'm unable to add an account from any of the apps (Mail, Calendar or People) or from Settings.
    I click on + Add An Account and absolutely nothing happens.
    I have no idea what's going on so, like you, I'd appreciate some advice.

    T

    I went into the Settings for the Email program or icon on my Surface Pro 3 and deleted my Exchange Account. I then re-installed the account from scratch and all my emails and calendar items starting coming in to the newly reinstalled account.
