No email option on Share tab in Photos

I am not able to send photos from my Photos on my MacBook Pro. The email address in extensions is greyed out. I have enabled my email account in Preferences. Is there something else I can try?

Do you see Mail among the Share options in Finder? That would tell us whether you have a Photos problem or a Mail issue.

On Catalina 10.15.6 I do see Mail in Extensions in System Preferences, and I'm pretty sure it was there in 10.15.5.

Are you able to create and send new mail manually in Mail?

Yes, I am using Apple's built in Mail application.

I am using Catalina version 10.15.5

In the Share menu in Extensions in Preferences...in fact I do not see not Apple Mail now that I look again only Chrome.

Is there another place I can look?

You are using Mail, but did you enable it as the default Mail reader? This has to be done in the "Mail > Preferences > General"; switch the "Default Mail reader" menu to "Mail".
