Emailing pix from lightroom: Does anyone know how to setup an email to be verified. Every time I try to email an image it comes up email not validated.

What version of LR? What email client? The email-option from older Adobe products has been broken now for years, as the older products are unsupported and cannot be updated for new security settings in the email client software.

Ideas on how to export specifically for attaching and sending via email are discussed and demonstrated in LR in this post:

I fund it easiest to export to the desktop then attach the file to a message in my email app. Be sure the export is jpeg as most email apps won't support raw files. Also exporting to Dropbox then sending a link can work for large files.

Just export in .jpg and select the size you want to send and attach it.LR has always had issues sending from within.

I do photos with Santa at a local mall, and use LR5.7. I have a second computer (both are laptops) networked to the one with LR5.7.
The second computer just monitors the LR file folder in the main computer, and can email from there.

You can network the 2 computers using either a small network hub, or just connect them together using an ethernet crossover cable.

I think Some e mail servers are starting to reject e mails with attachments as protection against malware and phishing. I am not sure how to get around that, but I have sent e mails with attachments to certain e mail addresses and the other person's e mail server came back with an undeliverable and an error message.

Too many issues. I copy to a new JPEG file in my "For eMailing" folder and email from that. I use PS Elements but it’s the same issues. My Gmail account won’t let me email directly from Elements. It says the source is not secure.

Slightly off the Lightroom subject....I use Nikon View NXi for cataloging, organizing, etc.
It lets me email effortlessly with Thunderbird. It also lets you choose the file size.
I tried PS Elements, but it seems to work only with Outlook, which I won't use.

You know. I decided to give photography a once again. But it is no better now than it was awhile ago. I tried emailing images from lightroom but no luck as it keeps stating email not valid. I have spent many hours trying to rectify this. I really do not need to deal with this. Adobe seems to make people look like idiots. I have had enough of this computer garbage. I have watched countless videos on doing it. Even ones put out by adobe. I'm sorry. But this does not work for me. Good luck to all you hedgehogs.

My grandson figured it out for me. I can go into lightroom and email from there. I tried and tried with lightroom but could never get it to work. To me lightroom is only good for storing images. To me it's a failure system. And listening to Ms. Kosch talk she speaks so fast that she does not give you time to get your bearings. But anyway it is now working for me.

She is Julieanne Kost and I agree her videos are more of collage 102 level when you need a 101. The failure is not the tool but rather you need to find better teacher. I would suggest Anthony Morganti. His videos are simpler to follow and learn from. Between LR and PS there is little you can't do. I would try https://iammrphotographer.com/ No one said LR education was simple but far from a failue. All good tools take time.
