How to Troubleshoot Email-Sending Errors in Access Legal Proclaim

Email-sending errors in Access Legal Proclaim can occur due to various reasons, such as oversized email lists or compatibility issues with Outlook updates. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to identify and resolve these issues.

Identifying the Issue

Before proceeding with troubleshooting, determine the nature of the email-sending error. Common causes include:

  • Oversized email lists stored in Proclaim.

  • Compatibility issues following an Outlook update.

  • Specific problematic Outlook builds, such as Office Version 2604 (Build 16.0.19929.20172) 32-bit.

Resolving Oversized Email List Errors

If the error is related to an oversized email list, follow these steps:

  1. Close the Proclaim application.

  2. Navigate to the Proclaim local data directory on the affected Windows profile. Typically, this is located at %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Proclaim.

  3. Locate the file named ProclaimMail.dat.

  4. Rename the file to ProclaimMail.old to detach the oversized email list.

  5. Reopen Proclaim and attempt to send an email.

  6. If the error is resolved, you can delete the ProclaimMail.old file. If the error persists, rename the file back to ProclaimMail.dat (remove the .old extension) as the cause is likely different.

Addressing Compatibility Issues with Outlook Updates

To enhance troubleshooting, it is helpful to identify the specific Outlook version/build causing the issue. This can be done by navigating to File > Office Account > About Outlook in the Outlook application.

If the error started immediately after an Outlook update, it may be due to compatibility issues. To resolve this:

Additionally, capture a screenshot of the version/build information for reference. This will help in determining if the current build is causing compatibility issues.

  1. Coordinate with your IT team to identify the previous version of Outlook that was compatible with Proclaim.

  2. Roll back Outlook to the prior build.

  3. Test email functionality in Proclaim after reverting to the previous Outlook version.

  1. If the problematic build is identified as Office Version 2604 (Build 16.0.19929.20172) 32-bit, consider rolling back to Version 2603, which is known to work well with Proclaim.

Testing and Verifying Solutions

After implementing the above fixes, test the email functionality in Proclaim to ensure the issue is resolved. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to your IT support team for further assistance.
