Outlook to Outlook Express Problem
I have a brand new computer and am trying to set up OUTLOOK via EArthlink as
my email. I did the test settings, and everything worked. However, when I tried to send an email I rec'd the following message: Task 'pop.earthlink.net - Sending' reported error (0x8004010F) : 'The operation failed. An object could not be found.' Any suggestions as to how to fix this?! I've wasted 30 minutes of cell phone time w/ an Earthlink lady in Bombay (or somewhere) and she was of no help. I'll try double checking that Outlook Express is NOT the default. Thanks. "Jane Photographer" wrote: Russ, thanks for keeping in touch. I had already checked those Control Panel settings, and they definitely indicate the MS Outlook (not OE) is the default. By the way, I'm reading old posts on this discussion group, working my way back one page at time, in hopes of stumbling on useful information. There is a recent post (1/7/05) from Kathi30, "can't send email from Outlook Express 6..." Her error message of OX800CC79 is somewhat like mine of "OX800CCC0D". Although her problem is the opposite of mine--it is Outook 2002 I'm having trouble with, not OE-- I wonder if these problems are somehow related. For example, has Microsoft installed some sort of behind-the-scenes update that has affected us all? FYI, I downloaded Windows SP2 about 2 weeks ago. This was long before the Outlook 2002 email problem began. I disabled the SP2 firewall, because I already a Zone Alarm firewall. However, I left the other SP2 features intact. Could SP2 settings be interferring with my usual MS Outlook 2002 settings?

I am thrilled to get a reply. This is the first time I have EVER posted anyting to a discussion group. Thank you, Russ Valentire. I will certainly be thinking hard about "what really happened." For the moment, all I can offer is this: When I could not get email, I went on to my ISP Webmail in order to get my new messages (Earthlink's "Webmail") via the Internet. Is it remotely possible that, when my regular email connection was disrupted for whatever reason, and I went onto "Webmail", this made all of my incoming messages go to Outlook Express? Quite coincidentally, I recently placed a bad AC power cord. That was a easy fix for what I feared was a hard drive failure. The computer technician, while he was out here, ran a diagnostic, and my hard drive is just fine. If you think OE simply took over as your email program without no one having changed any settings, you are mistaken. Think hard. Tell us what really happened. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Jane Photographer" Jane wrote in message ... I have used MS Outlook 2002 until now for email. I very much like the calendar feature of this program. A wierd thing happened a couple of days ago. I could no longer send/receive email. After lenthy discussion with my ISP, we determined that my email was now going into Outlook Express rather than my regular Outlook 2002. I could now send/receive via Outlook Express only. I walked through several troupleshooting steps with the ISP technician, but it turned out that this was an Outlook issue primarily that my ISP technician could not solve. (note: I could still access my Outlook calendar, and view old Outlook 2002 email. I was just unable to send/receive email from there.) Neither I nor any family member changed my email settings to Outlook Express. Why did this change occur? How can I change back to MS Outlook 2002 for email? (I would be just as happy with Outlook Express, except for the fact that it does not have a calendar feature for tracking appointments, as far as I can tell.) Thanks, |

Outlook to Outlook Express Problem
I have Windows XP and Outlook 2003. Yesterday I downloaded a service pak for
Windows XP as I found a reference to another error message that I thought might fix my problem. It did not. The incoming is set up as: pop.earthlink.net The outgoing is set up as: smtpauth.earthlink.net On the "more settings page" there are some numbers associated with each of the incoming and outgoing. The incoming is set at 110, and the outgoing is set at 25. (I also tried the outgoing setting at 587 as that was a suggestion either with Microsoft or EArthlink.) In either case, when I press the "test settings" I get the "all clear" and when I access my email via WEBMAIL, the test message is in my in-box. However, when I try to send a message is am receiving the error message noted below. Also, I have yet to have any incoming mail hit my Outlook mailbox. Anyone out there to help?

The only service packs for Windows XP are SP1 and SP2. Was it one of those? If the latter, it could be the problem. SP2 enables the Windows firewall by default and if it wasn't enabled before and is now, it may be blocking access. If the Windows firewall is running, turn it off and check if you can receive mail. If so, add Outlook as an exception to the firewall. and start it again. -- Brian Tillman |
