    Windows 10 Mail, clicking the + to add a new account doesn't work


    I open the dialogue to manage accounts and see my existing Hotmail account there. I want to add Gmail so I click the +. Nothing happens. I've tried it several times, reregistered my apps, restarted Windows all to no avail.

    Any ideas?

    :)

    I want to opt out of "add a new mail account"

    A default program for email opens when you click a mailto link on your browser. It tells the browser that it should compose an email in the visitor's default email program on their computer. You can use the mail app to login to your email
    account so you can contact the organization's website through email.

    For more information about the Windows 10 Mail app, you can check this
    link    .

    Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.

    Windows 10 Google sign-in from mail not working

    I upgraded to windows 10 from Windows 7. When I use the Microsoft mail app to sign in to my google account, it doesn't work. After clicking on add a new account, I clicked on 'Google'. The box turns white and after 2-3 seconds it returns back to the place
    where you select the type of account.

    Hi Bunter58. Welcome to the TenForums @Bunter58

    What version and build are you on?

    Windows + R, type winver, enter

    Do you know that you are full up to date for your version?

    Just curious............

    What if you do it the other way:
    Start button > Accounts > left side, Email and app accounts > right side, + Add an account

    There's seems to be a few ways of getting into that dialogue, including that one. I've tried all I can find and none works.

    But thanks for the thought.
