Windows 10 upgrade breaks Mapi in Office 2010

Microsoft’s latest updates (version 1703 to 1709) causes a failure when trying to save and send a PDF in Microsoft Word and Quickbooks.

After the upgrade, mailing directly from Word or Quickbooks causes the following error:

Office repair and fixmapi both do not work as well as a reinstall of office.

Solution:

1. Rename Msmapi32.dll located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033 or C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033

2. Right-click the MSMapi32.dll file, and then click Rename.

3. Type Msmapi32.old, and then press ENTER to rename the file.

4. Restart Word 2010.

The next time you try to do save and send as PDF, office will reinstall the MSMapi32.dll, and sending will once again function.

How to resend an Outlook email – Outlooks Hidden Feature

Posted on

Do you need to send an email again? Maybe you forgot to attach a file the first time, or maybe you sent it to the wrong person, maybe you need to add a few more recipients…

One way to do this is to go to find the sent email (in your Sent Items folder) and then do a Forward or Reply on it, make any changes you want and then click Send. The problem with that is it adds FW or RE in the subject line… and adds the original send dates, recipients etc in the body of the email. Any changes that you make to the email may also be highlighted in a different color making it look like you resent the email.

If email security and confidentiality is important to your organization, you may also want to look at SendGuard for Outlook.

There is an another way built into Outlook.

Go to your Sent Items folder.

Open the email in its own window (by double-clicking on it).

The Message tab of the Ribbon should already be selected (click on it if you need to).

One the Move group, click Actions and then click Resend This Message.
SendGuard for Outlook
A new unsent email will be opened will all the details of this email copied to it. Make any changes that you need to and then click Send.
