Windows Mail App Bug - Not sending e-mails from Gmail accounts
- Dec 15, 2021
Found a solution for this exact problem. You have to manually uninstall the mail app then reinstall it through the windows store. I tried to reset the mail app but that didn't work.

Deleted I tried this and re-tried all the aforementioned options, but it didn't work. I still can't send e-mails from a Gmail account on the app, although I can normally send them through other non-Gmail accounts on the ap´p. The non-sent e-mails go to the "e-mail outbox" on the app and to the "draft box" on Gmail website, although they appear the formatting is all messed up on the site (with spaces added between each letter - see below).
