mail app doesn't run in the background

That's horrible, I'm sorry. I thought my problem of having to manually sync was bad.

Heh.. it's OK. I do all of my emailing on my phone or just over the web browser anyway. Haven't used the mail app that much since it doesn't give me proper notifications. It does at least seem to run in the background.. from time to time.

I've tried the get-appxpackage *communi* | remove-AppxPackage command from an admin PowerShell window, but that seems to be hanging as well. I guess I just need to wait for their update to see if that corrects it.

I have not heard of that command. I will google and see if that helps me at all.

perhaps this is the fix...

"Starting August 8, users were reporting they were unable to access the Windows 10 Store and to use a number of their previously installed Store apps, including the built-in Windows 10 Mail and Calendar."

Yeah, that seems like my issue. I just checked my store and saw the same three updates that were there the other day still have not downloaded and I just tried to download the ESPN app and it isn't working.

A reboot this morning is fixed it for a lot of people. Reboot then open store. Wait a few minutes for it to clear.

So is this problem fixed for you? I still don't receive any notification in the Action Center when I receive a new e-mail.

According to several people, it is fixed in the preview version that was released last week. I think it comes out in October.

My live tile all of a sudden started working and I started to get notifications for the mail app yesterday at about 6:17 pm EST on windows 10. I'm not running the preview version either.

I wonder if the app was updated. Is there a way to tell? I haven't been able to find a way.

 

[tofmin]

Yep, there was update few days ago. But... nothing has changed for me. Still no notifications :/

BTW, there you can find info about updates: run -> perfmon /rel

 

[yaynative]

There was an update to the mail app?

 

[tofmin]

Yes. ~180MB. Downloaded via Store.

 

[yaynative]

I check every day, didn't get it. Unless... Checking update history.

perfomon /rel doesn't work for me


edit: got it to work. Deleted the extra o

17.6120.42011.0 - this is my version. I got this update 2 days ago. Check: Store -> Downloads.

edit: OMG, sorry! Fixed! Stupid fingers ;-)

 

[yaynative]

Nothing in downloads, where do I see my version number?

 

[tofmin]

Mail - Settings.

 

[yaynative]

Same version. I just noticed my tile is updating and I am getting notifications from the app. It is still not syncing to other devices though.

I really wish the store listed the last update date
