When emailing a document from a web based email account, you may see the following message:

'Unable to send all emails
Error with the address <email address> : Unable to connect to the remote server'.

This can be due to a recent change by Microsoft to one of their smtp servers and it affects email providers that use the smtp.live.co.uk server. Don't worry it's easy to fix by updating the server name in your email settings.
