Our home Outlook has stopped sending email. Using a Mac. Suggestions on a new and secure email program, anybody? email is xxx@sbcglobal.net if it matters.

I did that once before but will check again. I think at the time they said it was a microsoft problem. Thanks for your advice.

Buy some stamps. Write in cursive for security.

I second this. Am slowly transitioning from Outlook. Encrypted and secure.

Why would you use Outlook when MacOS has a good and secure mail client built in to it?

Worth repeating.
Proton mail
Proton.com
They will not scan your mail.

If you’re on a Mac, you can use the built-in Mac Mail.app. It can handle multiple accounts simultaneously including MS Echange/Outlook email. Go to Preferences, Select Internet Accounts, then click on the account you wish to add like Gmail, Echange, etc.

I use Mozilla Thunderbird which has their issues too but at least I can recover the emails in a crash. Any time I’ve used Outlook and the OS crashed, I could never recover the emails on my hard drive.

“Spazzing out.”

Is that a technical term?

Have only used Macs, and I’ve always used the Apple mail program.

I just installed Mozilla Thunderbird a couple days ago for a couple of random email addresses I use and it installed cleanly and accepted both addresses and I can switch between them any time. I like it so far.

In my case, I believe the error was tied to the most recent updates to Outlook. Once I uninstalled them, the problem disappeared.

Wish Apple Mail worked on a MS system. I’d be tempted to try it.

I’m getting more and more undeliverables I emails to clients from my domain-based exchange account.

Something’s up, and it’s a pain in the ass.

That is frustrating. My Pacbell email account sucks and does many weird things such as your SBC Global account is doing.

I keep looking at ProtonMail with a new client, but I stick with Outlook because I have so many mails carefully stored in folders and nested subfolders. If I could find a way to migrate my folder structure and stored emails to another program, I’d leave Outlook in a second.

I also use GMX mail. I set that up because I can send emails from my home security system using GMX. I really didn’t need more complexity like that, though.

It is, but I see that you catch my meaning!
