I lost my ability to send E-mails directly after LR update

I tried Adobe, 39 views but not responses, hopefully someone on this site is having the problem.

I updated and everything was fine.
I wanted to send an image via e-mail and as usual checked on e-mail and a pop up box appeared and asked if I would allow access to mail for documents and data.
(I believe that is what it said) and I did not see a reason to do that, HOWEVER it may have removed my ability to send an e-mail or the update did it.
In other words, prior, when I exported in email and I click on the preset to send, the LR box with the images with no addresses would show I would click send again, and after the "Bar" completes it would then appear in my Apple mail and I would type in the "to" address and the mail would send it off.
NOW, there is nothing showing after the bar completes, I have no idea where the image and email is or went to, I tried several different ways:
I tried reloading LR and Mail,
I tried sending it to myself by typing in the name in the initial page.

I have never set up any mail program in the past ,when I started LR I used what was given.

How can I get that dialog box to allow for the settings or is there another simple way to return to what I originally had set up by default.

Well Adobe never could give me an answer, 64 views and not even a "Don't bother us" reply, LLOL
Here is the answer from a DPreview member :

Sounds like the enhanced security in Mojave.

You have to allow the LR app to transfer to Apple Mail to send the email.

Since you denied it access initially it can't do this,

To grant access open System Preferences, then open Security & Privacy.

Navigate to the Privacy tab, then scroll down to the Automation section on the left.

There should be an entry for Adobe Lightroom Classic CC with an unchecked box for Mail (on the right).

Check the Mail box for LR to enable access and you should be able to send (may need to close and re-open LR).

I'm active at the Adobe forum. Would you please post a link so I can find your question? Thanks.

The only response I got was that I was impatient after only 6 hours.
Actually it was 10 as I edited it, no big deal.

I have a question as well, do you have a direct link to the forum ?
It seems I have to click on several times to get to the LR forum to either review or posts discussions.
I have to believe there is a better way, I am not the best with this stuff.

thanks,
Greg

Many reasons I'm dropping Adobe products, especially Lightroom, by year's end.
I just got my LR upgrade message. It will no longer run on my Mac until I upgrade to Sierra (Mojave kinda crashes a but), citing hardware and OS problems. This is a multi boot system- new LR will still run on the same hardware as a Windows 10 machine, but not with Yosemite or El Capitan. Which aren't much different than Sierra. My wife *likes* Yosemite and Windows 8.1 on her Mac, but updated LR won't work anymore. Windows 7.1 would, tho. ?!?! Google Maps and Facebook won't connect anymore.
However, the standalone LR 6.x will still work if kept from updating. Various Mac forums have members eagerly attempting to fix the fix. I predict that by this time next year all my Macs will be Windows only, and the only Adobe will be Elements. Unless they fix that too. Also.
