Why can’t I email my invoice from Reckon Accounts Home & Business? I get the error:
Microsoft Office Outlook
Either there is no default mail client of the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client.
Outlook is my default email client.
Answer
You may experience this issue when

Workaround
Step 1: Check integrity of Outlook:
1. In Windows Explorer right-click any file, select Send to and select mail recipient;
