  1. Windows 10 Mail does not show german umlaut correctly in mail body


    dear all

    in my Windows 10 Mail application Windows 10 Home, Mail Version 16005.12527.20258.0, german umlaut characters are displayed as chinese characters.


    The Powershell command "Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem -Property *" shows the following output:


    Status : OK
    Name : Microsoft Windows 10 HomeC:\WINDOWS\Device\Harddisk0\Partition4

    BuildNumber : 18363

    Locale : 0407

    MUILanguages : {de-DE, en-US}
    OperatingSystemSKU : 101
    OSArchitecture : 64-bit
    OSLanguage : 1031


    Installed Windows from a german iso image, set Windows Display Language to en-US, set the default app language to de-DE german Germany.

    Learned from similar problems with umlauts Oracle sqlplus running in Windows cmd that the Locale respectively the codepage controls the way characters are displayed; but applications running in the .NET framework "should" work correct.


    That supplied Mail/Calendar App seems to be an exception.

    What do I have to change to fix this error ?


    btw: the same mail is correctly displayed online in a browser Firefox, gmail


    Regards, Martin

    :)

    Mail for Exchange - special characters (umlaut) in username

    Hi,

    I have several usernames with german umlaut-characters (ü, ä, ö, ß). These usernames are not able to logon within Mail for Exchange. Is there any hint?

    Yes, Windows mail (on Vista) is almost identical to Windows Live Mail (which I use here at work on XP), and have multiple accounts set up.

    Windows Live Mail has one of the best out-of-the-box spam detectors I have ever seen in an e-mail client, and of course, it's free.

    The one thing I like about WLM over Windows Mail on Vista, is that WLM does not use popup box verification when you delete the entire junk mailbox (it does, however, on the deleted mailbox). If I hit the delete key for a whole mailbox, I mean it. Honestly, you don't have to ask me if I am sure about what I am doing.

    Windows 10 Mail does not show german umlaut correctly in mail body

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Windows 10 Mail does not show german umlaut correctly in mail body :)

    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)
