I'm told that Access email function does not work with Windows 11 Office 365 (New Outlook). I get the 'An error occurred while attempting to send the email. Error '2293' Microsoft Access can't send this email.' error message. Is there anyway to run my VBA email routine. My laptop does not have the Outlook Classic version and I don't feel comfortable uninstalling and reinstalling Outlook.
 
No, New Outlook does not support COM automation. You can not send email from Access to New Outlook because of that.

There are alternatives, including reinstalling what they now refer to as Classic Outlook.

If you are just sending, there is also CDO. Plenty of examples if you google - here’s one

I'm not familiar with the required information. Is this information found in my email account ?

i.e. => Requires knowledge of all the server settings (port, username, password, authentication

You should be able to get the server settings from your Exchange Server admin or your IT department.

I have trouble trying signin/signup for Power Automate. I see it listed in my Microsoft apps, but get into Power Automate. It rejects my Microsoft signin.
 
Save yourself weeks of frustration and just use Oulook classic. I use Windows 11 with both versions installed. I went back to classic for my default version because the web version is just not worth it. But if you are using Office automation Outlook clasic is required and a 1000 times easier than CDO.
 
Concur with LarryE, with the caveat that Outlook Classic might be hard to find in order to download it, depending on which version of Office you are using. I've seen a few questions on this forum regarding Outlook 365 and how sometimes it is difficult because MS is pushing people away from Outlook Classic. In fact, that's why I downloaded an LTSC version of Office when my old machine died and I had to update away from Ofc2010.
 
for CDO
Account is your email address or user name
for sending, Server will be something like smtp.gmail.com
Port will be something like 465
Authentication is your password

some email servers require what is called an app password, all depends

Basically the same information as when you set up outlook
 
You can use this to test fully, if you are going to use CDO
