"Send" a document (word or excel) to outlook client give error "General mail failure. Quit Microsoft (Excel), restart the mail system and try again."
I just got a new windows 10 prof computer. I installed MS Office prof plus 2016 x64. When I try to "Send as attachment" a document (word or excel) to my outlook client (backend by exch 2013), I get an error dialog, "General mail failure. Quit Microsoft (Excel), restart the mail system and try again." This of course did not work.
Suggestions, Please.
