Gerry, It has been a while since I played with the email from Qimage, but let's see if we can get together.
First of all, I don't recall changing any email"program name" in qimage.
I think all you needed to do was insure that you put the latest email OUTGOING server name, your useername for your email, and maybe your email adess.
I just confirmed:
I went to my wife's computer (please don't tell her)
She has Qimage Ultimate installed but never sent a picture from it. Had to set it up from scratch.

I opened the  Email Options in Qimage Ultimate
A dot in the TOP option
I inserted the email server name. In her case, SMTP.Verizon.net
I inserted her username as was shown in her ACCOUNT setup, and email address.
Didn't need the password.
IT works.

I use Thunderbird mail and changed to Thunderbird after really hating Live Mail in W 10.
I didn't have to change anything  in Qimage as long as I didn't change the account settings... same OUTGOING server name, usename and email address.

Try it.
Fred

Thanks for all that Fred....With the dot in the TOP option, the old 2011 program still comes up but with the dot in the bottom option I can send direct from Qimage as against my email program....I think I'll take your advice and go for the 'Thunderbird' program.

Many thanks for your time

Gerry

I am going to tell her you said that.
You like sleeping on the couch?
