missing object in Outlook 2003.
I have an identical problem to Nina's. When I clicked send/receive (or
automatically), I got the message, " The opertion failed. An object could not be found.". I have added profiles, changed, deleted, added mail accounts (pop3). Detect & repair, downloaded the Office 2003 SP-1 and installed. Outlook Express does work, but I need the Outlook features. I did manage to synch a Tungsten E (after downloading their updates). When I test the account, it says "check e-mail address" but the email address is correct. ?? Sue |

Did you try making a new profile? it sounds like the address book is
missing - Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed, add it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and close then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Author, Google and Other Search Engines (Visual QuickStart Guide) Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Join OneNote Tips mailing list: http://www.onenote-tips.net/ Vote for your favorite Outlook and Exchange utilities in the Slipstick Ratings Raffle at http://www.slipstick.com/contest/ "Sue Bittner" Sue wrote in message ...

I tried it. It didn't work. After reviewing this and the remaining threads,
I went everyplace (Outlook, Outlook Express, Mail thru control panel) and got rid of all profiles, address books, and email accounts. When I went back through the control panel and set up 1st a new profile, and then a new e-mail account, the Outlook program seemed to work. Only the account settings were screwy, the test kept connecting but would send the e-mail. I finally removed the auth from smtpauth. and BINGO! I think Dell (it's a brand new machine) had set up one profile. When I first connected to Earthlink on setup, it made another account and profile. Thanks for your help! Without the discussion thread, we would have probably e-mailed each other 10 times. I do notice a lot of people with similar problems, but there is never a followup email to find out how they fixed their problems. I hope this helps somebody.
