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.
Hello. I still have a query whether on another computer are the same problems with this one account or not tried on another device? what version do you have - windows compilation?
Deleted I just tried on my mom's computer and it worked perfectly there. Its really a problem on my own computer.
About the specifications you asked:

Experiência Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0- Well - System! Please check in the settings - Language -keyboard-set permission to enter by different methods! I think there is a problem with entering characters in this application because it does not send correctly!
- I think is not that because I can send out e-mails normally with non-gmail accounts (outlook, office360, yahoo) with the app.
Honestly, I believe the problem is related to one of two things: (i) a problematic updated of the system (whether by Windows Update or Dell Support Assist); (ii) I regularly use a optimizing a software (Glary Utilities) that cleans the registry, temporary files, etc.
I feel that this problem started after I did one those two things.
