8.2. Outlook - MAPI_E_FAILURE when sending files

Background

If Worldox is unable to interact with your email application, and you initiate an email attachment, you may see an error message that looks like this:

Resolution

Make sure that the email application is properly configured, and that it is set as the default email application for the workstation. 

Close BOTH Outlook and Worldox.  (Reminder:  Close Worldox by right-clicking on the Worldox icon in the System Tray and select "Close Worldox".)  Re-launch Worldox first, just in case changes to the email application haven't been picked up by Worldox.  Then re-launch Outlook and test.

Make sure that the email application is handling send requests outside of Worldox - right click on a document in Windows Explorer and choose Send To->Mail Recipient.  If that works, but you still get the MAPI_E_FAILURE message in Worldox, then we'll need to take a deeper look.

If the Send To->Mail Recipient test does not work, then you have a lower level problem with how the mail application has been installed.  The best thing to do will be to re-install the email application, or do a 'repair' on it (Outlook can be repaired from the Control Panel > Programs and Features applet)

Note:  We've seen some cases where a reboot was necessary after the above steps.
