Windows 10: Unable to sync Mail app

I am on Gmail and have several accounts. I have the Mail app installed as well. But it stopped syncing new emails for my gmail accounts. The issue occurred suddenly. Before it worked fine.

When I try to manage accounts in the Mail App settings and click on one of the accounts. It opens and soon closes. When I tried to add another account, I got an error code: 0X80004005.

Unable to sync emails on Mail app in Windows 10

After I got done downloading Windows mail and calendar I clicked on the mail app and it told me to add account and I clicked on that and screen changed to choose account.

Several e mail account showed up and I picked my Microsoft mail account. The screen changed to Creating Account (Exchange active sync polices broker) I click Yes and I get message = something went wrong (sorry not able to do that) Error code 0X80040154 and
goes no further.

I want to thank you for helping me and wish your suggestions would have fixed the problem of outlook not working at all.

I give up and thanks again.

Sincerely

Rob

 

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)
