If your Mail is not syncing your messages, not opened or showing an error, resetting the app might fix the issue.

Reinstalling the Mail app is the best way out there to clear the Mail app data and fix all its issues. That said, resetting the Mail app much easier than reinstalling it. Moreover, most of the problems can be resolved by resetting the Mail app. When you reset the Mail app in Windows 10 using this method, it will delete your sign-in details and all saved data by Mail on your device.

    I hit the reset button 1 hour ago and it just keeps circling? I am unable to link my Google mail with Microsoft outlook mail account which is why I am trying this option. I am using a completely refurbished Dell OptiPlex 990 PC. As of writing this the app still has not reset but I was able to repair it first.

    Emails I’ve tried to send went to outbox every time. I tried resetting the app but it didn’t help. So I uninstalled it but when I reinstalled the mail app the emails that were in outbox had gone. They hadn’t been sent either. Is there anyway to get them back? Thanks

    I kept getting a message to say the settings on one my accounts were out of date despite having apparently “fixed” it, and I also had an old notification number stuck on my task bar icon which wouldn’t shift. I was about to attempt to in-install and re-install the app when I found this link. Both problems are now resolved, many thanks.

    Brilliant, thank you. If only Microsoft staff had seen this, had me reinstalling Windows and all sorts when a simple reset was all that was needed. I didn’t even lose the emails and accounts.
