Change Mailbox Sync Settings for Mail app in Windows 10

Kbird · 27 Jun 2016

Look for a window or message behind the main one on screen , it maybe waiting for you to allow access to gmail or need you to confirm something?

It worked! It's synched and receiving/sending emails. Calendar also. It took a little time but it worked!!!

Thank you!

FYI, if it helps anyone I have seen W10 Mail app not syncing or deleting email usually after an update. I found that if you reset the Mail and Calendar app, then update it from the W10 Store the emails will delete and the sync will begin to work in 24-48 hours. I also use an Outlook.com account so I am guessing it takes awhile for it to catch up with it.

have reported that the diagram in step 4 is no longer the same so this tutorial needs updating.

Those particular users were trying to change account passwords rather than other settings. I don't know if that topic would be best addressed within this tutorial or in a separate one.
