Error 0x8007054e when adding account to mail or calendar

I finally found a solution that worked for me. I just renamed the Folder C:\Users\[your User Name]\AppData\Local\Comms. After restarting the Mail App it creates a new one and now I can add accounts. And Calender and People apps work too. Hope this is helpful for someone.

Nice work.
Thank you.

This is the orginal folder "C:\Users\[your User Name]\AppData\Local\Comms". Ein renamed >Comms< to something like >Comms_old<. After starting the Mail App it creates a new >Comms< folder. That's all I did. Since then everything works. I found the folder with Windows Explorer but you can use every File Explorer. Maybe you need to tell Windows Explorer to show all hidden and system files but I don't remember if that was necessary. Hope it works.

:) Fantastic this worked perfectly for me.....thank you

OK, I have tried every so called solution that has been posted here and elsewhere so from 0x8007054e where it all started until now getting 0x80070490 errors I am going to finally give up. Services changed, reset, Apps date changed and rechanged and it still won't work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still it returns these errors. My only guess now is to do a fresh / clean install of Windows 10..... I don't think so! I've had enough with the mail and calender app I remain happy that it does at least work on my Windows Phone

Now, are there any other as yet unheard of solutions?

It works in Windows Phone ? Surprise.
Mail app is too rudimentary. If all one wants is send and receive, it does the job. If one wants more than that, forget about it.

My granny always has a thing she said. "if you have nothing sensible to say, don't say it" - I have found this to be a valuable asset in life when dealing with people. Now, because I missed a couple of valuable words from my "rant" let me fill it in for you. "at least the Windows Phone version Works........ " But I do forgive you reminding me of the Apps uselessness!

You see, I like a challenge and the App is challenging me no matter how rudimentary it is.


Happy now, I hope so as I still intend to search for a solution
