RE: Outlook 2003 - error (0x80070057)

I would try running Detect and Repair (from the Help Menu), you'll likely
need your Office CD.

If that doesn't make a difference, I would rename your current mail profile
(use the mail applet in the Control Panel) and create a new one. You'll find
instructions on how to do that here:
http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/newprofile.htm

Let me know if either or neither works. Good luck!

Following advice I found in another thread, I discovered the OPMLOG file. It
logs all activity, not just SMTP. Here is the snippet where I was trying to
send:

2007.06.08 19:58:20 SMTP (smtp.east.cox.net): Begin execution
2007.06.08 19:58:20 SMTP (smtp.east.cox.net): End execution
2007.06.08 19:58:20 Main: Synch operation started (flags = 00000030)
2007.06.08 19:58:20 Main: DoPOPDownload(flags = 00000030, max msg =
ffffffff): full items
2007.06.08 19:58:20 Main: ReportStatus: RSF_COMPLETED, hr = 0x80070057
2007.06.08 19:58:20 Main: Synch operation completed

I don't see anything helful there. Unfortunately, the error message in play
seems to translate to: "Wow! Something unexpected happened, but we have no
earthly idea of what it was or how to describe it."

Thanks, but that didn't work. Registry changes are all there, but the log
file is not created. The folder structure described is not created, so I
created it manually--to no avail. A search of all files with "smtp" or "log"
in the filename filas to show any such log file.

You could try logging the SMTP conversation to see what's going on behind the
scenes. Take a look at this article for info on logging:

I've been using Outlook 2003 for years, but after miagrating to Vista, the
following problem cropped up.

When I try to send some emails in Outlook 2003, I get the following error
message:
Task 'Main-Sending' reported error(0x80070057) : 'Could not complete the
operation. One or more parameter values are not valid.' (note: "Main" is
my primary pop3/SMTP server).

My ISP says it's Microsoft's problem, not something at the server, and they
have no idea.
I searched the MS website, but did not get any hits on the error.

It only affects *some* of the emails. So far, all of the affected items
seem to be ones that I am forwarding and have attachments or imbedded
Internet links.
However, some forwarded emails with links or attachments go through just
fine. Usually, if I regenerate the message from scratch, it will go
through.

Has anyone experienced this problem and worked out a fix?

Thanks.
