I had tried last week to get it working but to no avail and finally got him to bring in the laptop for remedial action. My ISP (Simplynames.com) reported that they have had hundreds of people with the same problem since Windows 10 roll out. The suggested fix by Microsoft is to run the DOS admin command "sfc /scannow". Running this found a few files that were corrupted and proceeded to replace them but the Email still didn't work so I ended up rolling it back (luckily you have 30 days to do this from an update) and then had to re-install Office 2007 and reset up the email accounts before it worked again without problem. > > Evidently M$ have also emailed people about the bug on their Microsoft account .... However, seeing as how the receive function of the email sometimes hoses itself as well, and seemingly at random according to SimplyNames) I don't know how many people will see it. There is no timescale for a patch for the problem so I would advise those of you who want to upgrade to do so with care! > > Nice one M$. > > Dave >
Dave, I have had clients have problem with emailing on Windows 10 using SSL. Switching to TLS has resolved the problem. Changing which control I use to send emails has helped as well.
