Emailing from Sage has stopped working

SUGGESTED

Hi we use Sage 50 Can edition. just transferred everything to a new desk top. Issue cannot email Invoices from sage I get the following screen: An unknown error occurred connecting to SMTP server. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections.  As I am not familiar with SMTP I have searched through Sage Help and found nothing to help, as well as checking through my email but as I am not sure what I am looking for I am not getting anywhere.  Any help would be appreciated. and we use Outlook.com

    one thing that is different from our old computer is our security McAfee could it be a problem with that

    By "Anti-Malware programs may panic when seeing a program that is not an email software trying to send email and block them"  I meant programs like McAfee tend to block programs like Sage 50.

    email works fine just not through Sage.

    If the email client works and is MAPI-compatible, it should work with Sage 50 if it's set up to go that route, and you shouldn't have to use SMTP at all.
