Windows 10: ''Your version of Mail is out of date. Update now to continue sending and receiving...

When I open my email on Windows 10, there is a yellow warning at the top that says,


''Your version of Mail is out of date. Update now to continue sending and receiving email.''


But when I click the button to go to Microsoft Store, there is no update and Microsoft Store says that everything is up to date. I cannot add my Gmail account on Mail because of that and it fails with the error: Error code: 0x80070490.


Does anyone know how to update the Mail app or fix this error? Thank you.

Unable to send mails from Mail app (held in Outbox)

Hi Barrie,

Thank you for updating.

Do you have stable internet connection?

I suggest you to check the date and time setting in your computer.

Please follow the below steps and check.

• 
  Click on the Date and time at the right bottom corner of your screen.
  
• 
  Click on Date and time settings and click on
  Change date and time format on right pane.
  

Also try to access mail through browser and check if you are able to send and receive mail. Do check if you have seamless internet access.

Do try the steps suggested and check the status of the issue. Thank you.

 

Mail not sending!

Your last reference was to Mailbird- it seems you've reverted to Mail.

The choice of pop3 or imap for receiving mail is up to you.. smtp is a different thing.

Suggest you try sending mail with Mailbird

 

Pop Up , Your Version of Mail is out of date Update Now to Continue Sending and Receiving Email ????

What is this and do I have to do it to continue to use Windows 10 Mail app on my PC ???

If this is anything like the Windows 10 Creators Update , I refuse to do it , I do not want my email changed , screwed up , or otherwise controlled by Microsoft or anyone else but me , I do not want the minimal crappy features it has to be further screwed
up by some forced garbage that I did not ask for .... I had to fight with Microsoft to permanently STOP the Creators Update from installing on my PC , Myself and Windows Techs had to Remote dig into my system to disable that update from continually screwing
up my PC and removing programs that I used and wanted , I do not want this happening with my Email .....

On my next Hard Drive I plan on going back to Windows 7 so I don't have to deal with all the issues with Windows 10 , it is the most unstable glitchy inferior OS Microsoft has come out with to date .... Win 98SE or Win 7 are 100 times better in every way
, and I have used Windows since 3.1 ..... I wish Outlook Express (before they screwed it up by changing the POP 3 stuff and making it a clunky useless program) still worked like it used to before Microsoft screwed it up (like how it actually worked like it
did with Win 98SE) .... I hate Outlook (even though Win 10 Mail App is run by it) , as it is ignorant , you tell it to send X email to your Inbox , you make rules , you say it is NOT Junk , and it keeps sending the same emails I get every day , to Junk
, and there is no fix for this issue .... I am not going to upgrade , if which like Windows 10 , will end up being a downgrade , to some botched version of Windows 10 Mail App that works worse than this version

So my question remains ....... Do I have to Update to continue to use Windows 10 Mail App as the stupid banner says , or can I just leave it as is and be happy and still send and receive emails ??????

I do not want the generic Yes you have to because Microsoft thinks it is best , I want to know if my email will continue to work as it has , if I do NOT update it ???? , This is what I want answered Specifically ..... Thanks .... Jim
