Just had a look on mine since I have the same printer.
Went through tasks. and it said it scanned to email, even showed on the taskbar for a moment, but no idea as to where it actually went -- Wasn't in the scan folders, and email didn't open.
Followed as suggested on Brother Brother instructions
Tried it to another PC on the LAN as well, same thing -- Said it went to the PC / Email, but nothing else happened ??
Never really got that feature to work for years now. Usually I just scan a document, then open email and attach manually, works every time
I use the Windows Scan App.
Go to the windows Store, search for "Scan" Click on Windows Scan download and install-- Its free and works well, also like it as you can crop, scan as different output options and can use either the flat bed or Tray as a Source
Even though the Printer is only Black, it will SCAN color.
UPDATE: OK found where they went --- They scanned to the Picture Folder and created a new folder with the date -- So they didn't actually scan to any mail. So you would still have to manually attach to an email. Haven't actually found any settings that tell it to open your actual email program.
