Thanks Ron. Helpful as ever....

Lol. The reply box gives it away.

Hello All,

No, my computer being shutdown and having a good night's sleep did not magically fix the issues I am having with doubtlook.

However, yes, I think I have found the problem. How to fix it though is another matter!

Apart from doubtlook in its myopic wonderfulness not being able to either save or attached documents to files - I cannot send emails, not even to my own email account. Let alone to anyone else. An error message occurs stating the obvious appears after pressing 'send'. "This message can't be sent right now. Please try again later".

On one occasion clicking on a link within this very obvious message did lead me to a new screen where doubtlook encouragement to click on a new link that would instigate it trying to repair itself. The repair failed - now what a surprise that was! Since then only a subject line of "This message can't be sent right now. Please try again later". No new links are offered about doubtlook trying to repair itself.

I would say that I have to reload doubtlook onto my computer again.

Does anyone know how to source a link to doubtlook so I can reinstall it? The is the main email that people have contacted me through for decades. I will try to see if I can access the account via my work computer. Otherwise, I would like to even just temporarily regain access access to doubtlook just to let people know to be on the lookout for a new email provider that I could be contacted on.

No, I am not having any issues with any other program on this, my personal computer. It is just with myopic doubtlook

Funny, how all these issues started when I was dumb enough to give into the incessant prompts to upgrade to V-11 every time I previously had turned my computer . V-11, what a piece of utter poo!

Kind regards
Lionel

I don't know your email provider, they use different limits.
The most common reason for that error message is,
1. your mailbox on the server is near full.
empty the 'deleted items' folder, clear out, old, 'sent items' etc.
restart outlook and make sure it 'synchronizes with the server.

2. An email you sent, is too big, or has a fault and is being flagged as 'bad'.
the server is blocking it. first check your outbox, if anything stuck in there, delete it, or move it.
Have a close look at recent emails, 'inbox' for any attachment over 10mb, delete or move.
mine has a 20mb limit.
if your really stuck, delete the last, say, 5 emails from the inbox. if they're important, than move them to recently emptied 'deleted items'.

3. Windows 11, hmmmm, I though 10 was a pain. So, open outlook and get into settings, options, mail.
I last used office 12 or 16, so route may be different now. The option was not there before, but now it seems to be there for Windows 11.
in column for sent, or send, something like, 'enable files to be sent as attachments', tick that box. Why, oh why, this has become an option is a mystery.

4. if outlook is part of an office suite, you can repair office.

1. Open Settings via the Start menu.
2. Select Apps > Installed apps.
3. Type Office in the Search field, click the three-dot menu on the displayed office, and select Advanced options from the menu.
4. select, repair option, when finished a tick will appear.
5. ​Do not select reset, you will lose all data.

hope this helps.
