Try setting the email account up as IMAP in your email program; https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en-GB Make sure that all settings are correct, such as port numbers and SSLs

If it isnt working, please send a screenshot of all your email settings (censor your email address) and a screenshot of the error you are getting.

When I try to add an account it says somthing was wrong - Error code:0X8007139F

Basically:
In Windows 10 v1903, go to Start -> Settings -> Privacy -> App permissions down the left hand side -> Email. Ensure "allow access to email" is on. Turning this off may cause the error you've posted.

I would just access the individual accounts separately, don't rely on the stupid thing

Thank you, I have now checked that and all says ON - I tried again to add an account with the same result as before

in summary, you can access your mail via https://www.virgin.net and https://www.gmail.com but not via the Windows 10 Mail app? It used to work before the current Windows build? You need to let someone here connect to your computer to have a look. How desperate are you?

Try a different mail client such as Thunderbird. This is what you should do with this sort of problem after the initial check that all the server settings etc are correct in whatever mail client you currently use.
