  1. Windows mail app crashing when using the search feature


    I am using the mail app and have several email accounts. My mail works fine in my gmail account and has all functionality. However when I go to use the search feature on my gsuite account, it causes my mail app to crash.


    I have run the troubleshooting and then I get the following:

    Issues Found

    Hanging or crashing apps Not fixed

    Reset hanging or crashing apps Completed


    I'm not sure if I need to do something to fix this problem but I don't know how and my mail is still crashing when I try and search or when I go to one of my folders and try to search in the folder.


    Thanks for the help!!

    :)

    Mail App Windows 10 keep Crashing

    Hi Erfan,

    Applications may crash due to unknown circumstances from time to time. To troubleshoot
    Mail app crashes, we recommend trying these following methods:

    Run the Windows Application Troubleshooter:

    The troubleshooter detects and fixes errors within Windows Store applications
    and built-in Windows 10 apps. It's always nice to try the troubleshooter before anything else. To use the troubleshooter, follow these steps:

    • Download the troubleshooter on this
      link
      .
    • Run the troubleshooter.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions.
    • After running the troubleshooter, restart your PC and check if your issue has been fixed.

    Reset the Mail App:

    Resetting or refreshing the Mail app usually resolves any issue with it. To reset the Mail app, follow these steps:

    • On the search bar, search and open Apps & features.
    • Scroll down to find Mail and Calendar.
    • Select Mail and Calendar, then click Advanced options.
    • Click Reset.

      Note: Resetting the Mail app will remove any account associated with it. No need to worry, logging your account back to the Mail app will resync your email account to the Mail app. No emails are deleted upon resetting/refreshing
      the Mail app/

    Let us know how things go.

    Regards.

    Mail app will not open on 10041.


    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Windows mail app crashing when using the search feature :)

    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)
