Reinstall Windows 8 Mail App?

Not on my Start Screen.
Not in All Apps.
Can't find it in the Microsoft Store despite searching Mail and Microsoft.
HOW?

Logged on as another user, deleted the broken profile via Control Panel\System.
Log back on as the old user, sits on preparing your computer and all that for about 15 minutes, then goes to a black screen, left it for 10 minutes again, no input, ctrl alt del, windows key etc all have no effect.
Forced shutdown, starting again now. On starting just sitting on "Please Wait" with Windows version of the beach ball, just dots for us I guess for 5 minutes. Again force shutdown, try again, no options, nothing, just "Please Wait" and endless spinning...
That this can happen within 1 day is revolting on Microsoft's part. Mail DISAPPEARED. There was NO OPTION ANYWHERE to install it again - I'm not a retard, I'm an MCITP and MCSA, I know what I'm doing with Windows. Then removing the broken profile complete
breaks and PC?? I can't boot, I can't do anything now. This is a tablet - I don't have an F8 Key to press to get to safe mode or something, Force shutting down and starting isn't giving me any other startup options as would happen on Windows 7. What do I even
do? Reinstall Windows because the MAIL App disappeared?
(I mean disappeared, I was uninstalling other apps and Mail and possibly other Apps just literally vanished from the start screen while uninstalling other apps).
No 20 minutes of Please Wait and spinning with nothing. Who do I call about this? What do I even do???

  • Windows Mail App not Auto Syncing

    Hey guys, I'm having an issue with the Windows Mail app on both my laptop and Surface RT. I'm running 8.1 on both and I've recently ditched Gmail in favor of Outlook.com. Right now my Gmail accounts are forwarding to Outlook. However, I still sign in to
    my computers using my Gmail account (not sure if that matters). Ever since I eliminated my Gmail accounts from the Windows mail app, the app will not automatically sync with Outlook.com when I receive messages. The only time I get updates is if I manually
    sync. Yes, I have set the email account to "download as items arrive". I have restarted my computers, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the mail app. Not sure what else to do. Help! 

    Hi,
    Accrording to your description,the issue occurred on both your laptop and Surface RT.
    So,I think the issue isn't related to Windows mail app.
    In addition to ZigZag3143x mentioned, I suggest you create a new mail account to test this issue.
    If it works,I suggest you remove your outlook.com account and re-add it.

  • Encoding problems in email while on Windows Mail app

    Hello.
    I have a question concerning email and encoding problems in the Windows Mail App in Windows 8.1.  I have encountered a problem with an email I received, while reading, I see strange ASCII characters in one email.  I have never encountered it in
    my web browsers nor Gmail, just the Mail App.
    I was referred to come here when I had asked a similar question there:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-ecoms/strange-foreign-ascii-characters-appearing-in/911f8a44-c302-4fa1-bcaa-3297b32d9120
    I don't know which forum to go to so I picked here.
    Is there any way that it can be resolved.  I tried to troubleshoot, nothing worked; I even synched, to no avail.
    I look forward to a response.
    JB

    Hi JB,
    The responder on answers was a bit confused. The MSDN forums are for developers to discuss writing their own apps. We cannot help with problems using Windows or its built-in apps.
    If the folks on answers cannot help then you may need to open a support incident. See
    http://support.microsoft.com , or the folks on answers may be able to direct you to the specific page for the Windows Mail app.

  • Having trouble removing a student email account from the Windows Mail App because the school has started using office 365 for thier email which i dont have access to

    I was wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to remove a gmail account that was set up by a community college for use on their mail servers and then find out that after awhile they have locked you out because they have started using office 365 for their
    emails and you are left with a student email account that you have no idea how to delete because you have missied out on deleting it before they changed to a different email provider?
    Anybody with ideas please help because I don't know what to do

    Hi,
    Regarding to Windows Mail App, do you mean the Modern UI App in Windows 8.1? Do you mean that you want to remove the email account from Mial App? Generally, we can simply remove the account by the "Account" option in Mail App (Open Mail App, move
    the mouse the right chram bar, click Account, then click the mail account\Remove account), but if the email acocunt is tied with the Microsoft Account which is used on the pc, in that case, it is unavailable to remove the email account, you need to contact
    your college to disconnect the Microsoft Account.
    If I'm misunderstanding something, please free correct me.

  • Windows Mail app in LAN-Network "e-mail address not available"

    Hello,
    I have a Problem with the Windows Mail app at Windows 8.1. Everything works normally at home, but when I try to update mails at university I get the message "e-mail address not available", but Hotmail works fine. I have four more addresses synced,
    none of these is updated while I am logged in at university.
    So when I start my computer, I have to log in in the University network via IE, there is also a timeout after an hour or so.
    I have to go access my mails in the browser, but that is quite bothersome with four e-mail addresses.
    Anyone who has an idea how to solve this?
    UPDATE: OneDrive does also not sync. It says all Files are up to date, but there are not. If I try to download files via Onedrive App, I get the error message "Currently, the file can't be opened. An Error ocurred with OneDrive."

    Hi,
    How about your problem now? Is your Mail APP still works properly in your home? According to your description, it's should your School network problem. Is your IE enabled any network Proxy when you using it at school?

  • Can I reinstall the mail app ?

    I deleted my mail app a while back, thinking that I would not need it, but now I do.
    Is it possible to download and reinstall the mail app without reinstalling the entire os?
    Thanks for any help.

    Mail is included in Mac OS X, so the only method to install the application is by reinstalling Mac OS X.
    Hold Command and R keys while your MacBook Air is starting to start into Recovery, and reinstall OS X. You won't lose anything but you should make a backup before reinstalling Mac OS X

  • Windows Mail App - Install Certificate

    We've installed Windows 8.1 (Enterprise) on to our corporate network, but we're having problems adding an Exchange account to the Mail app.  After entering all the necessary settings (Domain, server, user name etc.) - we get the following error:
    To use this account, choose a valid certificate on this PC.  If there isn't one, contact systems administrator. 
    We have digital certificate set up on our Exchange, but this doesn't appear to be enough for it connect to the mailbox.
    Anyone else experiencing this - any advice??
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Please check the Certificate to see if we have installed the self-signed certificate.
    1.  Start > Run, type “MMC” and enter.
    2.  In the open window, click File > Add/Remove snap in…
    3.  In the Available snap-ins tab, select Certificates > Add > Computer account > Local computer.
    4.  Click “Finish” and “Ok”.
    5.  Expand Certificates > Personal > Certificate.
    Meanwhile, I suggest you refer to Self-Signed Certificates section below.

  • Windows Mail App: Links appearing as plain text.

    Some of my emails are not properly displaying web links through my Yahoo account.  For example:  I am personally subscribed to a website known as Slickdeals (http://slickdeals.net), and none of their Deal Notifications have active links within
    the Mail app.  Instead, website addresses appear as plain text, even though the same links work just fine when logging into my Yahoo Mail account through IE or Google Chrome.
    How can I fix this issue?  I actually love the Mail app, but this is simply a deal-breaker for me if it can not be amended.

    website addresses appear as plain text, even though the same links work just fine when logging into my Yahoo Mail account through IE or Google Chrome.
    That could just be a difference between E-mail client treatment of text strings which look like URLs but are in HTML and therefore are not links.   Different E-mail clients also provide different functionality in support of such strings when Plain-text
    messages are involved.
    Notice that now IE10 has a helpful right-click Go to copied address command to help reduce the inconvenience of such a situation.

  • Plain Text URL links not working in the Windows 8 Mail App for only one account.

    Hello,
    I just started using a Surface Pro, and randomly one of the accounts I have setup in the "Modern" Mail app stopped parsing the pain text URL path that was included in them.  Specifically links to forum discussions.  I have 4 other Win
    8 devices and they display the links fine.
    More confusing is this issue happens ONLY with my O365 mail account and only on one PC.   I have an Outlook.com account and it renders the pain text URL as a clickable link, but when I send the same email to my O365 account it just shows up as
    text, no link generated.  All in the same Windows 8 Mail App.
    I ran the Windows 8 App Troubleshooter, I've reinstalled the Mail app,  I've removed and re-added the mail account.  Nothing fixes this.  Anyone know why?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Same problem for us, the link is also not rendered, if the mail is sent to an on-premise Exchange server.
    Its only for plain-text messags, HTML-messages work fine.
    Why is this problem ignored? The app is useless with that limitation.

  • Windows 8.1 Mail App doesn't sync Exchange account on desktop but does on laptop

    I was referred to this forum by another Microsoft engineer, and while I do not believe this is where this problem can be resolved, I'm following his instructions.
    I have Windows 8.1 on my desktop PC and an ASUS X205TA laptop. For several months, the three accounts I have under Mail (two Outlook.com accounts and one Microsoft Exchange work account) synced properly on my desktop. 
    In fact, the Mail app on my desktop worked fine with my Exchange account from the first time I used it under Windows 8 in 2012. The version didn’t seem to matter – whether it was Windows 8 Consumer Preview, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1, the Mail app
    connected to my Microsoft Exchange account simply by filling in my email address and password.
    Sometime this past summer, however, in the July timeframe, the Mail app stopped synchronizing with my Exchange account. In an effort to repair it, I removed and attempted to reinstall the account. This time, it would not let me load the Exchange account, even
    when including additional information (domain, server, user name, et. al.).
    This past fall, I purchased the ASUS notebook with Windwows 8.1 installed, and I was able to successfully load my Exchange account in Windows Mail using just my email address and password, as well as the two Outlook.com accounts, and all three accounts synchronize
    properly. When I went back to my desktop, however, I noticed that the Liberty email account was listed under my Mail app. Apparently, since my laptop and desktop configurations are registered under the same Microsoft account, when they synchronized, the Liberty
    email account which I successfully loaded on my notebook appeared on my desktop system as well. 
    The Mail app on the desktop, however, still can’t synchronize with my Exchange account so, in effect, I’m back to where I was in July. I would also add that I'm running Microsoft Outlook 2013 on my desktop and laptop and, in both cases, all three of my email
    accounts are installed and working properly.
    I don’t know if this information gives you insight into what the problem might be, but it’s apparent that there’s something in the configuration of my desktop Windows Mail app that is causing the problem. It’s working just fine on my notebook.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Mail app multiple times, run the App Troubleshooter, and tried a Clean Boot installation of the Exchange account. None of these fixed the problem.
    As I told the other Microsoft engineer, if this were an Exchange problem, I wouldn't be able to connect to my Exchange account in Outlook 2013 on my desktop and my laptop, nor would I be able to connect to my Exchange account using Windows 8.1 Mail
    on my laptop.
    The problem is specifically with the Windows 8.1 Mail app on my desktop PC, and its sudden inability to sync with my Exchange account after it worked in every iteration of Windows 8 since 2012.
    I have posted this issue in this forum as suggested, but my troubleshooting does not point to an Exchange problem, but rather a Windows 8.1 Mail app problem on my desktop PC.
    Can you help?

    Hello ronontheright,
    Do you mean that only the Exchange account in the desktop Mail app can’t sync?
    Please take a look at the following article.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
    Exchange ActiveSync can be used to sync data for email, contacts, and calendar. The Windows 8 Mail app supports Exchange ActiveSync.
    Please open the Windows Store app Calendar and People to check if they can normally sync.
    Please try to remove the account in Mail app and sign in again and check if the issue still exists.

  • Windows 8.1 Mail App - Cannot Send Mail

    The fact that this problem has been ongoing for TWO+ YEARS with no clearly defined fix makes me want to take my SP3 back to the store and go buy an iPad, even though I hate Apple products. I think I'm voicing the frustrations of the people here when
    I say that I've been searching for over an hour with no possible fix in sight, and an apparently apathetic Microsoft.
    Dear Microsoft,
    Your Mail App STILL has this issue: it randomly decides that it won't send any mail and so every outgoing e-mail sits in the Outbox of the app. This seems to be some kind of password-crossing issue where multiple passwords from multiple accounts get switched.
    However, I've been searching for over an hour and CANNOT find a fix to this problem despite the many unanswered/unresolved forums and questions regarding this 2+ yr old problem.
    By the way, thank you so much for removing the ability to go into Settings > Account within the Mail App and change the password. Now I have no idea how to fix your issue even manually. Please put the setting back so I can fix it, or just release a version
    of the Mail App which WORKS.
    Thanks a bunch,
    Twixte
    In the meantime, has anyone else figured out how to temporarily resolve this annoying issue? Is there a setting I can change or do I just need to completely disconnect my Microsoft account from my SP3 before I can actually send mail again?

    Hello Twixte,
    Do you receive any error message when the Mail App fails to send the email?
    Please refer to the following article about troubleshooting the problems with Windows Store app.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-HK/windows-8/what-troubleshoot-problems-app
    1. Download and run the Apps troubleshooter.
    2. Make sure the app isn’t blocked by Windows Firewall
    3. Try to uninstall and reinstall the Mail app.

  • Windows 8 Mail App - Can't add IMAP account

    Hi all, I have been playing with Win8 for a few weeks now and love it. My only concern is that I can't use the Mail App to connect to my hosted email accounts via IMAP, every time I add the settings it tells me:
    We still can't find settings for
    [email protected] Providing this additional info may help. If you don't know this information, search online or check with your provider.
    I have exactly the same settings in Outlook on the same PC in desktop mode and it works fine, as well as connecting from all of my mobile devices. I can't even find where to look for additional info on the error.
    I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Mail App.
    I've tried manually adding the server settings to no avail.
    I've confirmed my account supports IMAP and proven it is working in Outlook.
    Any thoughts please?

  • Windows 8.1 Mail app limitation

    I can't send more then 3 or 4 pictures (1MB each) with the Windows Mail app.
    Tested with gmail account and company Exchange account.
    Is this a limitation of this app? I can't find it with dr. Google ;-)

    Hi，
    I tested in my own mail app, I can successfully send the pictures, I can also send more large documents like word\PDF.... As I know, mail does not enforce any limits on number and size of attachments users can send.
    Do you get any errors when you send the mail with 3 or 4 pictures or other large documents? Have you checked this network bandwith?  Is it a unmetered network or metered network?
    Have you tried to send in another mail application or web mail in browser? What is the result?

  • Launching Mail app on 10.3.9  eMac causes keyboard / mouse to stop working

    Strange happenings... comp works fine until Mail is launched, then keyboard input / mouse clicks don't register. Only way to get out of the problem is to restart.
    Any suggestions? I'd rather just reinstall the mail app if possible, but didn't find any procedures on doing that.
    Thanks in advance !
    viajero.

    Hi again viajero,
    Those symptoms suggest too full mailboxes perhaps. If you are determined to reinstall Mail.app you may wish to try deleting your com.apple.Mail.plist file found in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Mail.plist first and see if you can reset up your Mail account. You'll lose all your settings and email but you won't have to reinstall if it works. Make sure to write down all your Mail settings first in your Mail>Mail Menu>Preferences>Accounts>Account Information.
    The next time you try to start Mail.app you should get a message asking if you wish to setup Mail.app.
    Only do this if you are sure you do not wish to troubleshoot the issue further and are going to reinstall anyways.
    post back if that fixes the problem,
