Ever since the V10 update my email out of LR Classic has quit working, but instead returns the above error message.  I have reset the preferences, deleted and readded my email client to no avail.  Still does not work and from the forum, it looks like there are lots of nil value errors happening.

I spend far more time working around LR & PS issues than I do on constructive workfkow. I think they must have lost programmers who developed features we love and their replacements are still learning the ropes.

I hope they eventually get it.

Wow---if this thing isn't fixed soon--I'm out of the entire Adobe universe.  Really this is nuts.

Adobe has known about this for months. It hasn't been resolved in the past two releases, including with 10.0. I've virtually given up on this Lightroom feature and various Photoshop features that haven't worked for years.

Adobe's Tech supports folks work like rented mules to try and help but they can't resolve programming issues.

Fixes are generally delivered in next release so you will have to wait 10.1.

Here is my system configuration:

Is there a fix for this BUG?

Wow--I feel for you.  Just ridiculous.  Still no news from Adobe.

Downgrading LR version to work around this has somehow corrupted my win 10 system and now it won’t boot or do a startup repair. Thanks, Adobe.
