Hi There,

My email keeps getting hung up on 'checking mail server capabilities' when checking or sending emails, I have searched for this problem online however none of the solutions seem to fix the problem, having done some digging it seems that the pc invloved (running windows 10) has recently added 2 updates from microsoft released 09/08/22 and ever since then it has stopped working, has anybody else come across this?
