I have posted about not being able to send emails, but this message is still pending.

I followed the instructions here:

Problems when sending emails via SMTP with outlook.com accounts

This week Microsoft made some changes on their mail servers, which disabled OAuth login for the SMTP protocol on their accounts. This means those using free MS accounts, such as @outlook.com, @hotmail.com, @live.com and similar stopped being able to send emails from eM Client, the messages either got stuck in Outbox or you received this error: [SMTP] MailClient.Accounts.AuthenticationAbortedException: Authentication aborted.

I tried the registry edit, ie:
creating DWORD UseAirSyncSendMail set to 0 in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\eM Client
and then reset emclient.
And switched off air sync as per instructions.

But as I had removed emclient from MS permissions in privacy, it is now no longer sending or recieving emails and I can’t figure out how to re-enable permissions for emclient in MS. it doesn’t give me an option to add anything.

So I’m now worse off than when I started as I cant send or receive emails!

Not sure if anyone will see this as it keeps going to pending, even though my account is no longer in new status?

If you removed permissions (OAuth) and eM Client did not ask again for it on next start automatically, then the easiest way will be to just add the account as a new one. The registry fix to use SMTP will stay in place even with new account.
