Windows 10: Windows 10 Mail App Storage Use

Hello, recently I got a notice from Windows telling me that I was running out of storage room in one of the drives on my laptop. On the storage management it told me that the Mail app was using about 47GB of storage. On the Mail app I couldn't find any option to manage the storage. I changed my sync options to only have a week of emails. And finally when that didn't work I removed all the email accounts. Even so it still reads that I have that amount of storage used by the app. I also tried removing it and them re installing it but did work.

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)

 

Mail app will not open on 10041.

Hey Shawn,
I did that to no avail, then I ran WSReset.exe; now I'm good on all 3, Mail, Calendar and People! *Confused
Go figure!
