Windows Mail App does not work with Gmail accounts
I know this sounds real easy but it worked for me. I noticed when it was putting my details of the gmail account I wanted to link to the Mail App that it was just putting the name, and missing the @gmail.com off the rest of the address. I know it shouldn't matter, but when I eventually typed the whole address in manually, then it connected first time and is working fine again.

Hi Ian_Brearsbrearsian , I always put the whole address but the matter did not change for this. Personally I think it is better to type the whole address too and choose a general connection instead of choosing that the account is a Google one. I wrote several posts in my blog on this topic ... but now at the end I prefer to use Outlook client on my PC.
