Windows 10 has a series of functions and practical applications that have been designed to facilitate the management and control of many user tasks regardless of the type of role to be used or the environment where the operating system is implemented and one of them is the application Mail which is automatically integrated into Windows 10 and provides us with a wide range of options not only for reading or sending emails but for tasks with contacts or calendar..
To know more about this application we can visit the following link:
Like any default application in Windows 10 , we are not exempt from errors at any time when executing it, accessing emails or carrying out tasks within the same application, so one of the most practical solutions is to reinstall the application and thus have all the factory settings again which will solve many problems.
When reinstalling the application we must take into account some details such as:
- When reinstalling the mail application, any stored mail and credentials configured in the application may be deleted.
- In some cases it will be necessary to re-add the email accounts.
- The uninstallation of the mail application in Windows 10 will also be uninstalled next to the Calendar application, since both are packaged together as Windows 10 communication applications.
