Last Updated on September 23, 2022 by admin 3 Comments

Google has not released an official Gmail app for Windows 10 to date. Luckily, the default Mail supports all standard mail systems, including Google’s webmail service Gmail. You just need to enter your Gmail account address and password to add your Gmail account to Windows 10 Mail.

When you change your Gmail password once in a while for security reasons, you need to update the Gmail password in Windows 10 Mail app as well to continue to receive new messages. Usually, when you are using an incorrect password, the Mail app shows Your Gmail account settings are out of date banner notification. Also, you will see Your Gmail account settings are out of date message when you click on your Gmail account in the Mail app. You can easily update your Gmail password in Windows 10 Mail in less than a minute.

It’s important to note that you can’t change your Gmail account password from Windows 10 Mail app. This means that to change your Gmail account password, you need to sign in to your Gmail account in a web browser and then follow the instructions in our how to change Gmail password guide. Once the password is changed, you can use the instructions in this guide to update the password in Windows 10 Mail app.
