Windows 10 MAIL won't sync primary account

[mikeo]

Anyone else having issues with Windows 10 Mail (main PC) at the moment. It simply refuses to sync my primary Email account, others (EG. Gmail etc.) appear fine. I had a quick GOOGLE and can't find anything obvious.

Not changed anything since it was working fine yesterday!

PS. I can access stuff via outlook.com just fine.

I would remove and re-add the account and see what happens.

Good suggestion. But it would be a lengthy business, as I have a LOT of Emails on this account (used the same Email address for some 20+ years).

Found another way (rather than completely deleting the account and having to re-add it from scratch):

In the sync settings for this account, un-tick sync EMAIL and save. This removes the account from the list of accounts in the Email app (on the left hand side) ... but leaves it in the list of accounts that you manage. So select the relevant account and re-tick, sync Email. This then puts it back in the list on the left hand side of the Email app (unluckily now at the bottom of my list of Email accounts ... grrrr). But this seems to kick start it and it syncs OK after this.

Thought I'd post my solution. Might help someone else at some point.

Windows... you have to laugh sometimes.
