Windows 10: Windows 10 Mail app won't let me add more than one email account.

I am encountering a strange issue where the Mail app only lets me add one email account. When I try to add any other account after that, it gets stuck on the "Creating account" loading screen and never goes past that. I'm not sure what I should do to fix this. I've done almost everything I can think of; I've reset the app and restarted my computer, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, I've also tried adding the accounts in different order, but none of that worked. I've had no problem having this work before, not sure why all of a sudden on my laptop it is having this issue.



Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Hello vexorg,

You might check using step 3 in Option Two of the tutorial below to see if your son's email is listed under your "Email & app accounts". If so, deleting it will remove it.
