    To fix the issue of sentences not beginning with an auto capital letter in your emails, you may need to check the AutoCorrect settings in Microsoft Outlook. Here’s how you can do that:

    1. Open Outlook and go to File > Options.
    2. In the Mail category, click on Spelling and Autocorrect.
    3. In the Editor Options dialog, select Proofing.
    4. Click on AutoCorrect Options.
    5. Ensure that the option "Capitalize first letter of sentences" is checked.
    6. Click OK to save your changes.

    After making these adjustments, Outlook should automatically capitalize the first letter of each sentence in your emails.

    If the problem persists, ensure that your version of Outlook is up to date, as updates can sometimes fix bugs related to features like AutoCorrect.
