Outlook unable to send or receive email
Hi all
I just set up a new computer with a new installation of Office 2003 with all the service packs. I installed the service packs before I had set up the email acounts in Outlook. When I try to configure the email accounts and then send and receive I get the following error message ( on different accounts the same error message) Task 'mail.xxxxxx.com - Sending' reported error (0x80040154) : 'Unknown Error 0x80040154' Does anyone know where to start on trying to sort out this error? I have noticed that the script that was used to install Windows XP has removed Outlook Express but I am unsure which files Outlook uses from Outlook Express to send and receive email. Any pointers will be appreciated. Mike |
Outlook unable to send or receive email
Outlook Express is part of Windows and cannot be removed. Access to it can be
removed from the Programs menu, but it still exists on your computer. You should set up your Outlook accounts from scratch according to your Internet Service Provider's server settings. Then use the Test Settings button to verify it works. Or you can try File, Import Internet mail acct settings on the Outlook menu. It should find the Outlook Express settings if you have set up your accts in OE.

Outlook unable to send or receive email
Thanks Mary
But I have done all that, and I know that OE cannot be 'removed' only disabled. I was looking for direction as to what system files for OE are installed as I beleive that the error message could be due to a conflict in one of the DLL files used by OE and Outlook. I beleive that there are only three DLL files shared by the two applications but I am trying to find out which ones! Any help would be appreciated. Mike "Mary" wrote in message ...
