Windows 10: Windows 10 Mail App Corrupted--Not Downloading Email

Hi All

Think Corrupted Windows 10 Mail app, isn't downloading any mail that I can see, kept saying 1 is unread, but don't see any in the list now, after app reset, didn't help any. Western Digital SSD, Chkdsk should be fine I think, but will run it soon, Sfc/scannow show no errors, Dism restore health plan on doing next, should I run Western Digitals ssd dashboard extended test?


Any help is appreciated!! Can do a repair install if it comes down to it, and stick with Defender antivirus, maybe switching from Avast/Defender off and on last month caused the issue

:)

 

Windows 10 mail app web based?

Original title: Windows 10 mail app

Does the windows 10 mail app download the email to my computer like outlook or is it like IOS and web based? I don't want to download all the email to my computer.

Thanks

 

Forwarding video files to windows 10

I have a windows phone 8.1 and windows 10 on my pc. I was able to forward video files from the phone to pc with 8.1 pc. Now the Mail app will not download in windows 10. I can open outlook app and fine the email with the file present and copy and paste
a folder. The mail app receives the email and prompts to download file but will download when activated. Is this a error in the mail app?

 

IF?....as you state Windows Mail is corrupted.....open Settings, Apps and Features...click on and uninstall Mail and Calendar
Then go to Store....type Mail and Calendar and reinstall.
Then setup mail accounts to suit your requirements.

 

Well can't uninstall it, Greyed out to do that, syncing other accounts, but not my Outlook.com one, shows 1 unread, but I cleared the entire email box, and shows nothing in the list, so shouldn't say 1, and on phone it received some mail, but Desktop mail app still not working properly

Chkdsk was fine

sfc/scannow now errors

Dism /onlineimage /restorehealth--no errors

Antivirus used currently
Avast 17.5.2303

I guess I should've left Defender active and such

Guess bigger issue, backs up files, and prepares for either a clean install or a Repair install, and then sticks with 1 Antivirus program, and does my gaming and such and relaxes

 

Are you saying Mail and Calendar is grayed out?....see attachment.

 

Yes uninstall button Greyed out, on Admin account and standard user account


Probably will do Plan A, and Clean install in morning I suppose, or system refresh possibly, gotta decide yet on that

 

Mine is shown grayed out....have you tried clicking on uninstall?
And if that does not uninstall.....click on Advanced options underneath it

 

Yeah only Reset under there, and already tried that, and rebooted

Even tried WSreset.exe (admin) and rebooted with that as well, no luck


it was downloading email and working fine, not sure what the heck happened, but it seems stuck in the not downloading stage, and won't get outta of it lol. All I did recently was switch back from Defender to Avast as read Avast offered more protection and I felt maybe I needed it since I do a lot of stuff online, but maybe that was a mistake, who knows if it's cause of the issue for sure or no

 

Do note.....Unusable for a while after reset.

 

Ohh didn't see that part before, maybe that's why not working right

 

Uninstall the Mail and Calendar Apps:
Instructions on here. You can't do it from Apps and features like 'normal'.
Uninstall Apps in Windows 10
Then go back to the MS Store and install them both again.

 

Ok did the uninstall from that page, but still shows as Installed in the store, unless I need to restart before it fixes


Fixed Now!!, and working fine so far

Thank you everyone so much for the replies
