    windows mail app keeps uninstalling itself


    I have MS Outlook installed, which I use for work email but I wanted to use the windows mail app for personal email, which was not installed.


    I went to the MS app store, installed the Mail App and configured my personal email and thought everything was well. Then when I restarted my computer the next day the Mail App had disappeared. Thinking it was some fluke, I reinstalled it from the app store again and reconfigured my personal email.


    Then today, it's gone again. Do you guys know what keeps removing the Mail app from my computer?

    :)

    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 keeps uninstalling itself :)

    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)

    Cannot open mail app settings


    OK, my next suggestion was going to be uninstalling Mail and Calendar and reinstalling from the Windows Store. You can have a go at this by following these steps.

    1. Open the Start menu, type Windows PowerShell.
    2. Right click on the Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
    3. Enter the below command to remove the Mail and calendar app.

    get-appxpackage *microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps* | remove-appxpackage

    After performing the above steps, install the Mail and calendar app from the Windows Store.

    Hope this helps, you will, of course, have to add you accounts back again.
