Microsoft Edge Share feature

Question

When in Edge I click on Share feature, select Mail and send to my Yahoo mail address. Everything normal so far. The problem is that the web page is not delivered to my Yahoo in box. Is this a setup issue in Edge or Explorer? Any suggestion on a fix? Thanks.

Answer 1

James, I'm flummoxed. I just followed the same procedure you did in screenshots and emailed an Edge page to myself from my Yahoo account and it popped in the Inbox immediately.

Is it possible it's going in your Spam folder?

I don't think it's an Edge problem because it's already handed it over to Mail. If Mail wasn't Sending it an Outbox would appear in your list of folders where it would be saved. Does it show up in your Sent folder? If neither then I will give you every possible repair for Mail so at least something will work. Even if you've tried some fixes try them again in this sequence:

What often works to fix the Mail app is to go to Windows 10 Mail Settings (gear icon at bottom of Inbox) then Manage Accounts, then choose the problem account(s), then Delete the Account.

Restart PC and retrace that path to add the account back. Make sure the Sync settings are as desired for how far back you want mail Downloaded from, whether to include Calendar and Contacts (People app). See this setup guide to make sure you get everything set as you like: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-get-started-...

If that's not enough then Reset the Mail app at Settings > Apps and Features > Mail & Calendar > Advanced Options > Reset. Restart PC.

If that doesn't work then re-register the app from Option Two here: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3175-apps-re...

Finally if nothing else works uninstall the Mail and Calendar app in Settings > Apps > Apps & Features, restart PC, then reinstall from Microsoft Store app > Hub (three dots at top right) > My Library.

If you have broader performance problems go over this checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

Start with Step 4 to turn off Startup freeloaders which can conflict and cause issues, then Step 7 to check for infection the most thorough way, then step 10 to check for damaged System Files. Then continue with the other steps to go over your install most thoroughly.

If nothing else helps then run a Repair Install by installing the Media Creation Tool and choosing from it to Upgrade Now. This solves many problems and will also bring it up to the latest version which you need anyway and by the most stable method. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/m...

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

Answer 2

Hi Greg,

I followed your directions on deleting and restoring my Yahoo email account. That solved the problem. Using Edge Share I can now send out web pages and when sent to myself it appears in both my In box and Sent box.

Thanks so much for your help.

Answer 4

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your response.

To clarify my issue is not with pulling up Share in Edge. Share shows up and when clicked provides various options (see first screenshot attached). When clicking om Mail it shows Yahoo which is my default (I do not use Outlook). The sender shows my Yahoo email address. I can select send to from my Yahoo contacts. When sending to myself it does not appear (ever, even after days) in my in box. See attached 2nd & 3rd screenshots. 

As I finish this note I see no option to upload screenshots. Hopefully this option will appear when I click Submit.

Thanks,

James

Hi James. I'm Greg, awarded MVP for eleven years, Volunteer Moderator, and Independent Advisor here to help you until this is resolved.

When you choose Share and Mail in Edge it should open the Mail app to the account you select in order to send the page to correspondents you choose. If you want to send it to your Inbox you'd have to address it to yourself in the Send Mail box that appears.

If this is not the Menu you see when you choose Share in Edge then I'd set up Windows 10 Mail for your various Mail accounts now, and set it as the default Email App in Settings > Apps > Default Apps.

Windows 10 Mail app is an easier way to access your mail from all your various accounts in one huge inbox that lets you merge all of your Office and Web Mail accounts, with an even larger ad-free reading pane. See here how to get started: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-get-started-...

If you're getting some other type of Mail listing on the Share menu, then please explain and provide a screenshot so I can see what you're seeing. Here's how to take one and attach using Attach Image button in reply box: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/o...

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
