How do I enable email recipients in Windows 10?

1. Repair Microsoft Office

Microsoft Office comes with a built-in option to perform a quick repair of the program files in case something goes wrong with the app.

2. Set Microsoft Outlook as the default mail client

Windows by default set the Mail app as the default Mail client. If you are using Outlook, you may encounter File Explorer error if the Outlook client is not as the default mail client on your computer.

3. Delete MSMAPI32.DLL

The next step is to delete the MSMAPI.32.DLL files from the installation drive. This file is associated with the Microsoft Outlook client. After deleting the file, Outlook will recreate a new file in the same location.

C:Program Files (x86)Common FilessystemMSMAPI1033

Try to send an attachment from Send to > Mail Recipient again and check if the error is resolved. If the issue persists, try restarting your system and check back for any improvements.

5. Reinstall Microsoft Office

You can also fix this issue by reinstalling Microsoft Office. Uninstalling the Microsoft Office app will remove any corrupted files in the system and fix the issue after a fresh install. One such choice is Mailbird. Just like Outlook, both are available as both a downloadable client and as a web client. SPONSORED However, Mailbird is superior in terms of designs and customization, being less rigid than Outlook, and a lot more fun to use. Mailbird is also lightweight and frequently updated, so errors will not be there for long if they ever even happen.

6. Other solutions to try

Create a new user account and log in to it. Check if the Send to > Mail Recipient feature is working. Also, you can try restoring your system to a previous restore point. If you have multiple languages for Office installed, change the display language in Outlook to your second language and check if that resolves the error.
