Error code 0x800000b

Hi!

The following is a trick from another user:

In your browser, go to your Gmail account and log in :

1. Click the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner and select "Settings."
2. In Settings, click the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
3. In the IMAP Access area, check "Enable IMAP."
4. Click the Save Changes button.
   Next, authorize Mail to use your Gmail account:
5. Go to google.com, log into your Google account, and click on your photo in the upper right corner, then click the "My Account" button.
6. Next, navigate to Sign-in & Security > Connected Apps & Sites > Allow less secure apps, then set that option to "ON." (Don't get fooled by Google's marketing, all email applications are very secure.)
7. Wait for a minute or two for the change to take
   Finally, configure your Gmail account manually in the Windows 10 Mail app :
8. Add account, choose "Advanced configuration", then "E-mail on internet"
9. Name of account : "Gmail" (the name that will appears in the app)
10. Your name : "yourname" (what will appear in your recipients inbox)
11. Incoming mail server : "imap.gmail.com:993:1"
12. Account type : "IMAP4"
13. User name : "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***"
14. Password : "xxxxxxxxx" (password to your Google account)
15. Outgoing mail server : "smtp.gmail.com:465:1"
16. and keep the next 4 boxes checked... click the open session button

If this is with your Gmail account:

This seems to be happening to several users, my solution is to manually set up the account rather than allowing the mail app to enter the server details under the mail app & turning on the feature to use less secure apps within your Google account.

Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL

imap.gmail.com

Port: 993

Requires SSL:Yes

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL:

pop.gmail.com

Use SSL: Yes

Port: 995

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires TLS or SSL

smtp.gmail.com

Port: 465 or 587

Requires SSL: Yes

Requires authentication: Yes

Use same settings as incoming mail server

Full Name or Display Name: [your name]

Account Name or User Name: your full Gmail address (******@gmail.com). Google Apps users, please enter user...@your_domain.com

Email address: your full Gmail address (******@gmail.com) Google Apps users, please enter user...@your_domain.com

Password: your Gmail password

If you have two-factor authentication on your account then an app specific password will be required instead of the account password.

Change account access for less secure apps

Change your settings to allow less secure apps into your account.

Go to the Less secure apps section of your Google Account.

Turn on Allow less secure apps. If you don't see this setting, your administrator might have turned off less secure app account access.
