Hi

I spent a lot of time getting my Windows Mail App up and running in the last build.
Now I can't even find it?

I've looked for a Mail icon for it, but I don't find a place to open it.

I found WinMail.exe but it doesn't open anything.

Anyone know where the link to it is at, or what the link is called?

Mike

just paste that into a admin powershell
then go to the old store not the beta store and reinistall them

Thanks again, that worked.

Just noticed the This app won't open post at the top of the page.
I was more in the This app has disappeared, Mode.
