Summary:
When sending mass emails from V10, the user receives a prompt that requires them to click Allow or Cancel.
Essentially, it’s just a warning message saying hey, an application is trying to send emails. Is that ok?
Cause:
Permissions on the end-user machine
Resolution:
1) Open Outlook, go to "File/Options/Trust Center" menu item and then click on the "Trust Center Settings" button at the right side of the dialog box.
2) From there, select the "Programmatic Access" menu item. At the bottom of this dialog, note what your "Antivirus status" is. If it is "Invalid" then close Outlook, navigate to where its "OUTLOOK" program icon is on your disk (typically, it sits in the "Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Office" folder), and then right-click this icon and select "Run as administrator" from the pop-up menu. If you get a warning, then select "allow" or "yes" to continue.
3) Then, in Outlook, go back to Programmatic Access as described above, and you should see your antivirus status updated to "Valid" (assuming you have an up-to-date antivirus program on your computer).
4) Exit Outlook. Then open it the way you usually do. The warnings should now be gone.
This way, your Outlook application will be protected from malware, and you should no longer see warnings when other applications try to access Outlook.
