Question

Removed my e-mail settings with update

I realized that perhaps my explanation was not the best, so I tried to rewrite it, hopefully I can get an answer.

I updated and everything was fine.
I wanted to send an image via e-mail and as usual checked on e-mail anda pop up box appeared and asked if I would allow access to mail for documents and data.
(I believe that is what it said) and I did not see a reason to do that, HOWEVER  it may have removed my ability to send an e-mail or the update did it.
In other words, prior, when I exported in email and I click on the preset to send, the LR box with the images and no addresses would show I would click send again, and after the "Bar" completes it would then appear in my Apple mail and I would type in the "to" address and the mail would send it off.
NOW, there is nothing showing after the bar completes, I have no idea where the image and email is or went to, I tried several different ways:
I tried reloading LR and Mail,
I tried sending it to myself by typing in the name in the initial page.

I have never set up any mail program in the past ,when I started LR I used what was given.

How can I get that dialog box to allow for the settings or is there another simple way to return to what I originally had set up by default.

    Well thanks to another forum, DPreview, I got an answer.
    Very disappointed in this site at its failure to help.

    64 views and no one able to help.

    Here is the Answer:

    Sounds like the enhanced security in Mojave.

    You have to allow the LR app to transfer to Apple Mail to send the email.

    Since you denied it access initially it can't do this,

    To grant access open System Preferences, then open Security & Privacy.

    Navigate to the Privacy tab, then scroll down to the Automation section on the left.

    There should be an entry for Adobe Lightroom Classic CC with an unchecked box for Mail (on the right).

    Check the Mail box for LR to enable access and you should be able to send (may need to close and re-open LR).

    This is user-to-user forum, users just like you.

    You are complaining after 6 hours that you did not yet get an answer ... maybe you are just not patient enough for participating in a user-to-user forum
