    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:

Hello! An even simple way to connect your PC to the Windows 10 app is to check your Google Account to see if your PC is on the list of trusted devices and that you've given full access permissions for Windows 10 because one of the updates might have affected those permissions for that particular account that isn't working well for you! After a deeper thought, if the application supports the other accounts well, it may be due to those restrictions that are probably on the google sites

    I checked it and it got all permissions, as far as I checked. Another thing: After I did a new reset on the app, I started adding my e-mail accounts. I first added the "hotmail" account without any problems. But when I tried to add the gmail, there was error 0x80070490. I followed the online steps to solve it, and it was solved: the gmail account was added. However, the problem sending e-mails away persisted.
