    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.

    How to uninstall the Mail app on Windows 10 

    1. Right-click start button and select Windows PowerShell,
    2. right-click and select Run as administrator.
    3. Copy & Paste: 'Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps | Remove-AppxPackage'

    How to reinstall the Mail app on Windows 10 

    1. Open Windows Store and search for Mail and Calendar and click install.

    I learned this trick from this video:

Well - System! Please check in the settings - Language -keyboard-set permission to enter by different methods! I think there is a problem with entering characters in this application because it does not send correctly!

    I think is not that because I can send out e-mails normally with non-gmail accounts (outlook, office360, yahoo) with the app.

    Honestly, I believe the problem is related to one of two things: (i) a problematic updated of the system (whether by Windows Update or Dell Support Assist); (ii) I regularly use a optimizing a software (Glary Utilities) that cleans the registry, temporary files, etc.

    I feel that this problem started after I did one those two things.

      Windows 10 does not require additional utility programs and it is very likely that this registry clearing caused it - especially since you have the latest stable version of Windows that I use and the mail program on many computers I'm happy! still check in the settings of the mail app for Windows 10 open - accounts - then sync settings and there must be relevant entries . Later I'll add a screenshot of how it should be properly synchronised! And I have no other idea, maybe the update will help!

        Yeah, I think the only way out of this now is resetting the system... But I won't do it , cause it would be a hell of work to reinstall and reconfigure everything. Maybe in the future.

        And I think the guilty one was the utility app indeed. how bad... 😪
