Hello, everyone!
I'm a long-term user of the Windows Mail and Calendar app, and it has always worked like a charm for me. However, something happened recently and now every time I try to send away an e-mail from a Gmail account, I got a message saying: "There was an error sending your message". Everything else works: I can read new e-mails normally, and the other e-mail services attached to the app still fully functional (Outlook, Office360, Yahoo). I also noticed that when I try to send an e-mail from a Gmail account, what I wrote goes to the "Draft" folder. I can even access the "draft" on the Gmail website, but when I open it, the formatation is completely crazy.
I got a Dell XPS 13 9370, and I'm running the latest versions of both Windows 10 and the Mail and Calendar app.
I've tried everything I could:
1) I removed the Gmail accounts and added them again but the problem persists;
2) I uninstalled and reinstalled the "Email and Calendar" app but the problem persists;
3) I disabled the antivirus and the firewall but the problem persists (I got a kaspersky);
4) I have already run system corruption checks at the command prompt, but nothing has been found;
What should I do?
This is the pop-up that appears (I'm a Brazilian user, so it is in Portuguese):

@A1 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).

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!

SolutionFound 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.
