Windows 10: Unable to Change settings or Delete Account in Windows Mail

So, I noticed a calendar event was missing from my calendar. I thought I would try turning off the Calendar sync and turn it back to see if that would fix it.


First problem: "Change mailbox sync settings" are grey'd and can't do anything there, see below screenshot.




So I thought I would try deleting the account, but then I got this error:

Something went wrong. We're sorry, but we weren't able to do that. Error code: 0x800706d9. See below screenshot





Anyone have any suggestions?? Thank you!!

Deleting contacts from Windows 10


When you say Windows Mail Live are you referring to Mail app or Windows Live Mail?

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

• Open Windows Live Mail.
• Press Ctrl + 3 using your keyboard. Right-click on the contact to delete it if it is a single contact.
• Highlight all contacts by pressing Ctrl + A.
• Click Delete located on the Ribbon bar.
• Click OK when you see the message These contacts will also be deleted from Hotmail, Messenger, and other Windows Live services.

After following the steps above, all your contacts that you have manually added to your account will be deleted however, contacts coming from third-party sites such as Facebook will not be deleted unless you remove Facebook from your account.

For Mail app:

Open People app then delete the contact.
