I can confim the bug, it's really a shame because at our company more and more people started using it and as TB updated, people started complaining... It's also broken on TB 66 Beta 2 AND it crashes it.

I can confirm as well that on Windows 10 Pro 64bits [Version 10.0.17134.590] with TB 66.0b2 (32-bit) the mail recipient feature does not work as expected and simply crash the application.

While TB up and running, opened File Explorer, right click a .pdf file, selected Sent to > Mail Recipient, the attached warning appeared ("Another application is attempting to send mail using your user profile..."), clicked OK, TB application is Not Responding for a while and then crash (close by itself) without any crash reports generated.
