P: Email not working-External error has occurred: ?:0 Attempt to index field 'font'( a nil value )

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.

Thanks but it's impossible to see what you are doing or just what your point is.  Anyway you can make a link so we can see the video in full size.

@Rikk there are a lot of us and we hope you can get it fixed right away.

@Rikk 

Why not let everyone know  instead of people  spending so much wasted time and effort trying to solve for it with solutions that do not work . I don't see this issue being  published anywhere else on your blogs or websites won't more and more people  soon have this issue?

[carlm7529305]

I have exactly the same issue on my Mac.

[carlm7529305]

If you use a Mac select "Apple" .

On next screen you can select the server you want to use.

I was able to send mail.

But, issue certainly needs to be fixed ASAP.

[Rextilleon]

We most hope that Adobe, in their infinite wisdom sees this a something worth repairing.  

[Lance5EA5]

Hello,

There are also some great people on Kelby One community who have been trying to help me it appears to be only Apple related ? Is everyone on here who is having a problem on a Mac?

“Unfortunately, it does seem to be a Mac only bug as it relates to sending via email from LrC. I can reproduce Lance’s issue on my Mac.”

[Rextilleon]

Interesting--although on some of the other LR Forums it seems to be more of a universal issue.

Same here!  Updated 2 days ago and get exact message when exporting to email.  Using Lightroom classic.

@lancejI  I have a problem embedding photos on a PC, running Windows 10.  It will not embed in a gmail account.  I can choose Outlook Mail and it works, but only as an attachment.

Hi, I'm also having the same issue after updating to LR 10.0.

[Lance5EA5]

Michael hello,

I am wrong person to ask anything technical regarding Adobe. I am in same situation as you, if misery loves company 'welcome.'

After being on a chat with an Adobe person, their solution was to roll back to the previous version.  I told them that that was not an option,  So, they either don't care, or don't have the fix yet figured out.  Seems to be a lot of us with this same problem, so hopefully they will come up with a solution.  Until then.................Adobe has closed the Customer Care case.

[Rextilleon]

@joe_hudspeth yes Joe, but at least they didn't make you jump through hoops before admitting that the only answer was to roll back.  I wont roll back, but I'm might roll off the Adobe platform.

[Steve Gandy]

I can't get the Email Photo... from the File Menu command to work. See the error message in my screenshot. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

[drtonyb]

Works as expected on my Windows 10 machine.

[rafsax]

any updates or solutions.  

[rafsax]

@Rikk any updates?  this has been going on for awhile.

[J Hud]

@rafsax  Adobe told me their solution right now was to roll back to the last version.  Not an option for me.  I have also discovered that when building a slide show, music cannot be added.  Again something new since this update.  So as far as I am concerned, the answer is no, there are no solutions yet.

[rafsax]

Thank you for responding.  How do you even roll back to the previous version. It won’t allow me to do that. Ugh. 

[Rextilleon]

Go into the Creative Cloud---it will show you your installed apps.  Then find LRC and click on the small dots on the right--choose more actions/other versions--just go back to the last one before 10 and install.  I think it was 9.4.  

[mjbart]

No three dots on mine, just an Open icon.

Here is a screen shot of mine:
