These procedures can be used to fix issues with These win 10 apps.  Mail, Calendar, Cortana, Start menu, and Settings.  It probably will work for others but I have only tested it with these.

Solution 1: Re-register this App:

1. Run Windows PowerShell as Administrator.
2. Type Get-AppxPackage, press Enter.
3. From the output list, find the Mail App and remember the InstallLocation.
4. Type this command: Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_17.6120.42011.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxManifest.xml"}
5. It would run as below: 

Solution 2: If re-register App cannot resolve your issue, Please reinstall the App.

Step 1: Uninstall it completely

1. Run Windows PowerShell as Administrator.
2. Type Get-AppxPackage, press Enter.
3. From the output list, find Mail App package and remember its PackageFullName as below:
4. And then type the following command: Remove-Appxpackage –Package microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_17.6120.42011.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

Note: After running this command in Windows 10, the Mail icon still appear in the App list and Start menu. However, you cannot click to launch it. Just ignore and continue next step.

**Step 2: Reinstall the App from Windows Store **

The Mail app doesn't show up in my list after running Get-AppxPackage.  I also made sure and sent the list to a text file and searched through it.  Any suggestions at this point?
