Windows 10: Win10/Mail.app Mails Missing from IMAP Folder

Hi


Issue

I am using Mail with an IMAP Mail Server gmx.at.

For one Imap-Mail-folder i noticed that in Webmail there are 150 Mails present, but in Mail.app just about 40-50.


One weird thing is that its not just older mails missing, but some mails inbetween.

So for example for the year 2020 i see 19 mails in Webmail, but only 2 in Mail.app

And i see the oldest mail in Mail.app but not the newest one.


Another weird thing is that Mail.app is presenting an information for this folder "To find older Messages use search" , even though i set to

Download email from : any time


Things i have already tried nothing fixed it

• Removing and adding this specific account from Mail.app
• Deleting C:\Users\ fixme \AppData\Local\Comms
• Apps & Features -> "Mail and Calendar" -> Advanced Options -> Reset

My System:

OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Home

Version 10.0.19041 Build 19041


thx Andreas

Windows 10 Mail App not using correct IMAP sent folder

Hi there,

I'm trying to use the included Mail/Calendar app with an IMAP account. While setting things up isn't a problem at all, there is a really annoying bug. It seems that the App isn't using the correct folders already present on the IMAP server:

My mailbox is configured using the standard IMAP folders:

• INBOX
• INBOX.Drafts
• INBOX.Sent
• INBOX.Junk
• INBOX.Trash

This config used to work with Thunderbird, and also my Android Phone haves no problem using it.

Now, after setting up my mailbox using IMAP in Windows 10 Mail app it seems like the app is not using the right folders:

• Sent mail is stored within "Sent Items", instead of INBOX.Sent
• It seems that drafts aren't syncing at all - at least a created draft isn't showing up in the IMAP folders

Haven't collected more samples now for junk and trash, but there might be a problem with these as well. However, my biggest problem at the moment is the "Sent" issue...

So, what to do now?

It seems like the app isn't offering any option to config a proper IMAP folder mapping. The auto mapping isn't working correctly. Any workarounds? Registry hacks? Whatever?

Really crazy. IMAP folder mapping was possible in older versions of Outlook (e.g. 2010) and also Mozilla Thunderbird is offering such an option. Is it really true that the brand new Windows 10 calendar app lacks this basic functionality? To me it seems that
simplicity ("lets keep the UI simple, because we want also monkeys to be able to configure it") overrules functionality? Crazy...

Any hacks or workarounds? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Martin

This is totally annoying.

 

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)
