Re: Outlook 2003 - error (0x80070057)

Honestly, the best troubleshooting step might be to look at the actual
network traffic with a protocol sniffer to see what exactly is being sent
that the server doesn't seem to agree with. That's probably the only way
you'll get to the bottom of the problem.

Thanks. I've tried those steps several times, to no effect. I have three
email addresses (all on the same ISP, though), and they all behave the
same
way.

My ISP swears it it not a problem on their end (and judging by the number
of
people here who report similar behavior. I suspect my ISP may be right);
however, they only support OE and webmail--so they will give me no help in
seeking a solution.

At this point, I'm convinced it's a bug in Outlook that is not ISP
specific,
so I'm trying to decide which alternate mail program to switch to.

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:

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.
